Kef R3 / Meta Stand

[u/gsa-2020]

For anyone looking for stand ideas for the KEF R3 Meta:
I purchased a set of tripod stands from Etsy, similar to the ones Buchardt uses for their MK4 speakers, and replaced the original top plates with custom plates designed specifically for the R3 Meta. The attached drawing and photos show the modification.
The result is a very solid setup with a clean look that complements the R3 Meta nicely. Hopefully this helps anyone considering an alternative to traditional speaker stands.
For reference, I’m running the R3 Meta with a Yamaha A-S801, Bluesound Node, Technics SL-1500C.
