Thinking below the box
Mini-monitors are at their best when free-standing away from walls or other reflective surfaces. This often calls for stands to hold the speakers. With a loudspeaker of the 7001's weight, proper stands are more critical than usual and AAD's offering virtually defines stability. The stand's bottom is a machined 1" thick aluminum plate. From this foundation, dual 24" oval columns rise to a 1/2" machined aluminum mounting plate.
7001s on stands, particularly when the stand columns are sand- or shot-filled, are a classic example of the "immovable object." Not only do the stands raise the speakers to proper ear-height, they virtually eliminate any chance of micro-movement that may cloud the speakers' ability to perfectly delineate any detail in the audio signal.
