I am not adverse to the idea of $500 stands (most sound anchor stands are >$500); what I do take issue with is that $500 can only buy you a pair desktop stands with no mass-load capability. I have had enough experience with the little Harbeth to say definitively that you will not get nearly enough millage out of those Harbeth on the Headroom stand.
Perhaps had I tried it in person before I knew the pricing I wouldn't have such a negative attitude toward it, but as it stands I am so disgusted with the pricing that I don't even want to try it.
P.S. People do realize that its an audio-disaster when placing D-class amp in such a vibration-prone environment right? I just think the desktop speaker system is a bad idea (think about why multimedia speakers are at least 3 pieces with the bass module on the floor)
