Hi Mike,

I have Target R3 stands here too (massively heavy and sand loaded from the factory). Specifically designed for LS3/5As and directly equivalent to the Partington Dreadnoughts.

Using Harbeth LS3/5As the "Tallis" stands sound better. The R3s seem to such the life out of the music. Although this difference is not that great.

The difference is much bigger with both pairs of Stirling Broadcast as they both have reference cabinets. The "Tallis" stands sound just right. The Target R3s sound really good but in comparison to the "Tallis" stands do sound like they have quite a bit of life sucked out of the presentation.

I definitely prefer the "Tallis" stands.

Dave.

Thanks.

I'm very tempted to give the Reference cabinets a go.

I'll also keep an eye out for some Tallis or Slate Audio stands. Do you
think they would be a significant improvement over the sand and lead shot
filled Partington Dreadnoughts (Ebay £50) which I'm currently using?. They
were certainly a step up from my previous stands, but they still 'ring'
slightly despite the filling.

Mike

lookout for Slate Audio stands as well - I got mine for someting like £140
on ebay (but bid £500) which is a lot less than you will get the Tallis
stands for and, although I haven't done a side-by-side comparison, I would
not be surprised if the Slate stand weren't better as they are so dead.
