I had the Quad S2 and upgraded to the Quad Z1 and never looked back. If you think S2 is nice. Z1 soundstage and refinement is on a whole lot of different level. Look forward you reviews on the S2 and maybe the Z1. These speakers need more PR, they really very under-rated. i am pairing them with the Musical Fidelity M6i and Denafrips Pontus!
The SS-7’s completely transformed my set up in both looks and sound. Assembly was quick & easy, however, partially filling them with #4 shot was very time consuming.
Has anyone that's a welder contented on the steel stands? There's better welders than me, but from looking at their "unfinished" version, as well as the others - brazing the connection point is a weird choice, as that's a surface connection rather than actually being one solid piece. The actual brazing looked.... Kind of rough to be honest, least on the one I saw. The main Bonita about them seems to be the spike and bearing mounts.
Love the SS7 stands. but it appears the company doesn't want to sell them. There's no links on their site that leads you to a purchase. You can look at pictures, but that's it.
I know this is an old video but have you had a chance to use the Ultimate Support MS90/36 speaker stands? I’m debating on getting these stands because I cannot find a quality speaker stand that is of an adequate height (30-36 inches). I loved the look and feel of the Kanto SX26 stands. The 26 inch height made them useless to me.
I’ve been contemplating those white solid steel stands and JBL 4309 seems like a perfect solution for a small living room. But the KLH model come with stands and lower price 🧐🧐🧐
Love the look of the solidsteel stands. Do they actually improve the sound noticeably over the monoprice stands? I have Arendal 1723 S monitors for the front sound stage. Thanks.
Can someone explain to me why audiogear prefers spikes and ball-bearing contacts rather than some kind of dampening material (eg: some kind of silicone blend)? Doesn't a hard contact point (regardless of wide/pointed) transfer more resonance than something thats dampened/decoupled?
Hey J with the quad speaker you had... i was hoping you had a review of the quad speakers. Quad s2 IS my new pair and favorite speakers in 1000ish pair range. (S1 are 1000pr while s2 are 1200pr).
People should just call it “Few Minutes Tuesdays” just to charm the sensitive folks out there lol.. it rhymes with two and makes more sense for their OCD 😆
How much do the solid steel stands cost? I don’t see prices. Also do you use the Japanese walls just for ambiance, hiding wires, or do they help with sound in any way as well? I love the looks of them. Thanks Jay.
whats with the spikes at the base of the stands? i have live in rented space so not allowed to be drilling and screwing holes in things, do we neeed to screw this in the ground or somthing ?
how about call them "Two minutes squared Tuesdays?" or "Two minutes times two Tuesdays," or to be clever but slightly grotesque with a portmanteau, "Two minutes times Twos-Days," "TMTT"
Lol, I always tought that italian stands are some cheap stands for flowers. And they look like garbage, like tripod for camera, bleah... Not a chance in looks with decent audio stands, even those monoprice looks better.
A number of reviewers are doing 60 second reviews, just too short to get good content out. Keep it up Jay.
I got excited seeing the Quad S2 next to you
Look forward to your review on the S2.
How it compares to the Kef LS50

Hey
Jay Quad S2 speaker review can’t wait man. Toronto Audiofest 2021 can’t wait.

Hi Jay!As you have done with Mission QX2, I am expecting Quad S2 review!!! Thanks and cheers!

Great vid, very informative.

I like these short themes =)

Hi Jay,
Who’s acoustical tiles do you have on your walls?
Keep up the great reviews!
JD
Metal vs. wood, is there a difference? Which is better??? Thanks!!!
Hey J with the quad speaker you had... i was hoping you had a review of the quad speakers. Quad s2 IS my new pair and favorite speakers in 1000ish pair range. (S1 are 1000pr while s2 are 1200pr).
I used the kinetic / play sand in my monoprice stands. They are now dead and freakin heavy.
Time is such a relative concept,
😅
Hey Jay what's your thoughts on the Quad S2?
Hoping the video drops soon. They've been on my radar, too
I’ve had them for several years. They are great speakers. Very well built and heavy. The sound is sublime in my opinion.
People should just call it “Few Minutes Tuesdays” just to charm the sensitive folks out there lol.. it rhymes with two and makes more sense for their OCD 😆
I played this video at 0.25 playback speed to increase viewer retention rate and increase the promotion of the video to beat the algorithm.
True MVP

They are 599. I got mine from Music Direct, it was 650 with taxes.

hi, may I know the brand of your a/v rack? Nice review the monoprice for the money are good. I've used it
whats with the spikes at the base of the stands? i have live in rented space so not allowed to be drilling and screwing holes in things, do we neeed to screw this in the ground or somthing ?
Hi Jay - great video on an important subject. I hope a Quad S2 review will drop soon?? Thanks
Are you gonna review the Quad S2 ?
Can you recommend a speaker stand on polk audio lsim 706c speaker
PRO TIP:
If you fill your stands with cat litter, make sure it's fresh from the bag, and has not been used by kitty to do his kitty business.
how about . . . "less than 5, Fridays" ?
Why not call this “A few minutes Tuesdays”?
what a nice thujanless video
how about call them "Two minutes squared Tuesdays?" or "Two minutes times two Tuesdays," or to be clever but slightly grotesque with a portmanteau, "Two minutes times Twos-Days," "TMTT"
Three minute Thursdays (Just joking Jay 🙂). The starting timer was fun.
