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)
I'll say you have to see these stands to get it. These are EXTREMELY solid stands, and the harbeths sound spectacular in exactly the setup pictured.
