Thanks so much for the feedback, I really appreciate it!

Should you get the B, could you please post a pic?

Looks pretty cool, thanks, and more in-line design wise with my new Naim HE. Any downsides besides the ridiculous price point?

I have one next to my Naim HE on a side table next to my couch and looks great. It has a good amount of weight to it. As mentioned, the edges are not tapered, so just put them back on the stand slowly. But the end corners are rounded off, which is nice. I had a woo stand and the end corners were sharp and made it hard to put headphones without scraping. The Focal one is much better but almost 3x as much.

Here are my Utopia on a 'B':

For comparison, here are my Meze Empyrean on an 'A':

I personally would recommend 'A' for leather straps and 'B' for fixed bow full-size headphones.

And yes, I liked them very much, but sold them to go all Woo Audio stands (to keep my OCD at bay).

I emailed them a few years ago to ask which model they suggested for the Utopia and there answer was "FS Pro B".

Did they mean focal sprit pro by any chance?

No, they meant "FS Pro B" as in "ROOMs Audio Line FS Pro B BK Headphone Stand".

Thanks. Should have gotten the B then. Anyhow I’ll most likely get the Focal ones for the Utopia and keep the FSPro for my HD800.

Thanks. Will probably have to order one soon.

Nice looking stand, but expensive for what it is...

+1. Way too expensive. I would rather spend that money on a Woo stand or Room stand.

Thanks. Nice view as well.

I originally went with a woo stand. While it looks nice and has good weight, you had to be way too careful putting the Utopia back on because of the sharp corners. Figured spending $200 more on headphone stand was worth it if it doesn’t scratch or rip the leather headband.

Not as posh gents, but does the job!

I originally had Chord Dave, mscaler, a streamer, battery pack, all kinds of cables, multiple remotes, and headache if I ever had to move it. It also wouldn’t have fit where my setup is now. The Naim HE pretty much fits anywhere with room for the headphone stand as well. Plus wireless is excellent.

The view is downtown San Diego.
