It would be nice to have measurements, but all I have is my ears and they are getting old. LOL Honestly, I had great concern that I may be wasting my money when I purchased the Skylans, I had been using heavy duty single post wood stands with the C7's sitting on carbon fiber racing cones. It sounded pretty darn good as was. So I wasn't expecting much, I had used several different cheaper steel and wood stands in the past (with much cheaper speakers) and hadn't noticed much of a difference. If any.
But the difference was not sutle as they say with the Skylans, bass was way too strong, I had to turn it down. The midrange and increased soundstage is certainly only my opinion. I think I have a pretty good ear for this stuff. The designer says that the main difference you can hear in stands is due to the change in height of the speaker. I have the Harbeths within 1/8th of an inch of the old stands.
