The only two I know of at first hand (at least lately) are the Skylans and the JMR Magic Stands. The Skylans tend to reinforce the upper bass; the MS's, using a Helmholtz Resonator to take out the bass hump around 80-100 Hertz, tend to flatten out the overall response. The result is that standmounted Reynauds tend to sound bassier and punchier on Skylans, smoother and clearer both in the bass and midrange on the MS. What's interesting is that taking out the bass hump tends to smooth out the midrange. In a direct A/B, the Duets sound heavier on the Skylans, lighter on the MS, though one can adjust to either character so that each begins to sound 'normal,' depending on your preferences. When we compared these two stands at the Montreal show a few years ago with what were then called Duets (now Blisses, same speaker), some liked what I considered the slightly thicker sound with the Skylans, some preferred what I heard as the more even overall response with the MS. These adjectives are mine and reflect my preferences; Noel would choose different ones, I'm sure!

Not all wooden (in these cases MDF) stands are alike!
