I picked up my Branch stands yesterday.
I had been using my Phantoms on a pair of Apollo stands which I used with LS3/5a speakers for decades. I did this since they sounded poor to me on a table.
The Branch stands are lower than the Apollos but the sound quality is definitely improved, probably because the tweeters are nearer the axis of my ear - with the Appolos the speakers fired over my head.
They were slightly fiddly to assemble and mount, Ian's advice helped here, but the cabling is much neater now and much preferable to me, though anathema to cable freaks.
