Product Description

Color: Black

The Mythos Gem is a special kind of Compact High Performance Loudspeaker. It demands special treatment, and the Custom GemStand is the ultimate look and performance loudspeaker stand. The GemStand turns a pair of Compact Gems into tall, sleek tower-like loudspeakers. The hand-polished aircraft-grade Aluminum is aerodynamically curved to complement the curve of the Gem Speaker, which fits exactly and snugly right onto the side of the GemStand's thick and stable tube, complete with hidden wire guide for a more professional installation. A heavy duty Tempered Glass Base (same base as the Mythos Tower Loudspeakers) keeps your Gem installation super stable and energy efficient. GemStand places the Gems' tweeters at your sitting-ear level. This ensures perfect Mythos-level imaging and dynamic sound staging. GemStands are like museum stands for your elegant Compact Gem Loudspeakers.

I own a 7.2 Definitive Technology setup, consisting of 4 Mythos STS's, 1 Mythos Ten, 2 Gem Xl's and 2 Super cube References. I Recently made the purchases to go from a 7.2 to a 9.4 setup adding 2 more Gem XL's and 2 more Super cube References. I wanted to get some really nice stands for my Gem XL's. Even though the stands are probably a better match for the Mythos Gems I figured I would give them a shot anyways. My only issue and it was a major issue to me, was that I use the Dayton Audio Speaker Cables with already made banana plugs for my entire setup. You can also find these speaker cables on Amazon. I have used a million different speaker wires in my life of all sizes and gages since the early 90's and they have always sounded the same until I used the Dayton audio cables. The Dayton audio cables made me hear things in my music and movies that I have never heard before, vocals are much clearer bass is more full and the sound is even louder at the same exact volume. So I was pretty heated when I opened up the speaker stands when they arrived and there was less than an inch of space to put your speaker wires in the mythos speaker once they had been mounted. So I immediately went to home depot and bought a dremmel 4000 for around $90 and proceed to cut a 7x2 inch rectangular whole in the Back of the stands so my speaker cables would fit. It took around and 1/2 hours for all four of them, some really numb hands, my house smelling like the dentist office and viola!!!! they worked like a charm. Other than that it would have been nice if they would have had a hole in the back of the stand and if the base of the stand was slightly larger and heavier. Like I said before they are probably a better match for the Gems since they may be smaller. I do recommend them but if you use something other than plain old speaker wire you may want to look at the stands before you purchase them.

These look really nice with my black Mythos Gems. I dithered about going cheap with such a nice looking DefTech system, but now that I see them mounted I prefer the silver-black contrast over matching black stands. I only rated four stars because the plate glass base is not as heavy as the metal base on my old Sanus stands, and it might shatter if the stand is knocked over. A metal base would be more practical, but that choice is not available. Silver is the discontinued color; you should not be paying full price for it. I bought silver because much cheaper ($49.99 at the auction site that begins with an "ebay").
