The uprights are also turned from solid brass, with threaded inserts to accommodate Star Sound's \"points\" - hardware sets that allow the uprights to be positioned exactly where \u003cem\u003eyour\u003c\/em\u003e specific stand-mount speakers would dictate.   The top plates are then tightened down with another set of 3-inch solid brass spikes with mounting points above.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe whole system is equally ingenious and crazy. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach stand weighs over 50 pounds. The name of the game is density, used to overcome vibration, and it works. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeing offered here for a fraction of their original cost, these stands are conversation starters and also incredibly functional equipment.  Beautifully presented and solidly built. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003e$1,499\/pair (plus applicable sales tax and shipping)\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e* NOTE, Shipping these will NOT be inexpensive due to weight, but we have the packaging to allow that to happen. \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Holt Hill Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42890509123651,"sku":null,"price":1499.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2197\/6387\/files\/SSTCaravelle11_8699997f-c000-42a5-84ff-e2a0d639b373.jpg?v=1768596610","url":"https:\/\/holthill.com\/products\/starsound-technologies-caravelle-speaker-stands-over-the-top-isolation-platforms","provider":"Holt Hill Audio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
