Those look ideal for listening to Spinal Tap.
Anybody know any cheap desktop stands for these monitors?

These look nice but cost almost as much as the 5" speakers:

Not an amazing deal by any means, but the new AKG 371 are on sale for 10% off their already reasonable list price of $149: https://www.akg.com/Headphones/Professional Headphones/K371-.html
They are measured to track the Harman curve and I’ve been impressed with their ergonomics and build quality.

BTW, first step to an economic audiophile/boutique update of my modded KEF Q100 crossover:

Tony Gee recommends the expensive and new Miflex KPCU-01. I will try as bypass.

Just be aware that F7 has some issues when casting to it from Amazon Music HD app on Android phone, using Alexa. Casting works wonderfully but only up until the screen on F7 times out and locks. A few seconds later Alexa on the tablet is forced into suspend mode (apparently) and it loses connection to the remote app. So you can no longer pause/resume playback or change tracks, playlists, or albums. Current album/playlist will keep palying but there is no way to change it from the phone anymore. This is pretty annoying since you will then need to manually disable screen saver on the tablet to regain control. Maximum available screen timeout setting on F7 is 30 minutes and there is no Show mode. Amazon support web page still claims F7 (9th generation) has Show mode but I was on the chat with a support person and she checked my serial number and confirmed this model does not have it. Hence you might be better off waiting for a good deal on Amazon HD 8 or HD 10 tablets, which both support Show mode for uninterrupted music (or video) playback.Amazon is today 11/22/2019 selling the new usually $50 Fire 7" for $30:
Fire 7 Tablet (7" display, 16 GB) - Black https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07FKR6KXF/
I currently use one as a DAP with a D10 and Liquid Spark as Desktop setup. But I am considering a second one connected to my TX-RZ720 AVR, as unlike non-amazon devices, with Amazon music, you can 'cast' to it from both Amazon and other tablets/phones. This eliminates any need for Bluetooth, and lets me have the full lossless Amazon Music HD stream delivered to the AVR.
Damn, shipping to Japan is $200 :/I don't know if Adorama has made a mistake in the listing. But a pair of JBL 306P MkII for US$172 !!!

Sure kicks the crap out of the JBL direct price and much better than GC's price locally. I have absolutely zero reasons to buy yet another pair of monitors at this point... but I couldn't come up with a good reason not to if it's this cheap. Thanks for the notice... purchased.I don't know if Adorama has made a mistake in the listing. But a pair of JBL 306P MkII for US$172 !!!

I have a thread about KEF Q150 in Audiocircle: https://www.audiocircle.com/index.php?topic=161371.0
I use Planet Express with an Oregon address for tax-free purposes. I checked the shipping quote and it’s still abouy $100. That’s still cheaper than Japan, so I think I’ll bite, but I’m also eyeing an LSR310s. It’ll be one or the other. I need info in my low end and HPs aren’t enough.I beleive you have postal forwarding services in Japan that can forward it to you from US. I use one myself.
