NE PLUS ULTRA BASES
Our Very Best Stand for Floorstanding Speakers

Concrete and plywood floors cripple the sound of your speakers. They muddy the bass, smear the midrange, and add harshness to the treble. Many, if not most, perceived “room problems” are caused by bad-sounding floors. Instead of spending thousands on room treatments that address the wrong problem, here is a direct, evidence-based cure: drain the speakers’ vibrational energy, not into the problem floor, but into heavy maple bases rigidly mounted above the floor via our brass footers.

Our no-holds-barred maple stand design for transforming any world class floorstander crippled by concrete or contemporary thin plywood/laminate floors—speakers such as the Wilson MAXX, JMlabs Gran Utopia, Dali Megaline, Legacy Whisper, B&W 800D, Kharma Exquisite, Sonus Faber Stradivarius, Revel Salon 2, Sound Labs Majestic, Quad 2905, Magneplanar 20.1, etc.

The Ne Plus Ultra combines our massive maple platforms with by far the best-performing (and best-looking) footer coupling design we've devised: four huge Mega-Mounts locked tightly under the maple base by heavy brass tensioning through-bolts, tightened from above by gorgeous hand-buffed threaded brass caps.

If you've spent this much to get a truly great-sounding speaker, it doesn't make sense to let an inadequate floor diminish its sonic beauty. For perhaps 5% of your investment, we guarantee a more-than-50% upgrade of your speaker.

Ne Plus Stands with toned and black lacquer finishes are made to order and take 6-8 weeks to ship. We require a 50% non-refundable deposit for these items.
