Stands needed for Allison Four Speakers
Hello to all members of audioreview.com! I am glad to be a new member to a community of folks who can appreciate my obsession with experiencing great audio and learning all I can about the gear which makes it all happen. God knows my live-in girlfriend wants to punch me in the face every time I try to talk to her about it.
Does anybody have any ideas on stands for my newly acquired Allison Fours? I think they are similar in size and shape to the Bose 901s. The problem is that the 901 stands appear to have screw holes where the 901 cabinets rest. I don't want to go drilling holes in these puppies (unless need be).
Thanks for any help offered. Again, it's great to be here!!

They don't benefit from stand mounting.
I remember hearing these deonstrated by Roy Allison at a hi-fi show in NYC in the late 70;s when they first came out. They can be quite impressive.
Unlike "stand mount" bookshelf class speakers, these are actually designed to perform best with their backs against a wall and with as much free space above them as possible. The speaker couples with the wall to provide bass reinforcement.
