I'm looking at getting some new stands. I received some money from family and friends as gifts for Christmas and my soon-to-be birthday and I have been wanting some nicer stands, specifically I really like the four post stands on the market.

For example the StudioTech SC-24
http://www.studiotech.com/products/s...-24/index.html

Unfortunately they don't actually make these anymore except for sporadic batches and are mumbling about late February as a possibility for having a few made.

Others are the Target MR24 (much bigger columns though and a bit more expensive than the Studiotech) and Atlantis Reference 24 and Totem T4s (both even more overpriced than the first two stands I've mentioned.) Really they're all silly expensive, I just like the look and know that if I were to attempt to make anything similar, the cost in materials, effort and time would make buying the Atlantis or Totem stands seem reasonable.

Another option I've looked at is Skylan, but I like the slightly slimmer four post designs and I know I saw a Chinese branded pair when I was in Cincinnati recently and can't remember the name. I'm waiting to hear back from Skylan on some specifics though.

I'm sure there are half a dozen other companies out there making knock-offs of this design at varying prices, so has anyone else stumbled across any? Looking through the threads here from searches hasn't yielded anything specific to my request yet. I've been eyeballing Audiogon as well to see if anything pops up as I decide on whether this is what I really want to be spending my money on.


edit: I thought I had posted this in general, I guess i missed. Probably better off here anyway.
