Ninka stands
Hi Linnies,
this my first post. Already found some excellent information here. As the polymer Ninka stands are not available anymore I plan to get stands made out of slate or granite for my Ninkas. Has anyone experience with something like that already? Thanks! |

Thanks. I guess the original stands are pretty rare now. Haven't seen them on fleabay in the last months. But I will keep my eyes open. Shipping might be an issue, as I suppose they are quite heavy. Mick Thanks, interesting stuff... |

I made they guy a nice offer to swap my normal stands for the upgraded ones so he could still sell the speakers for a reasonable amount... I think he did rather ok out of it too...

RE: Ninka stands
MisterEd Wrote:FranzD Wrote:MisterEd Wrote:More often I see the speakers for sale with the upgraded stands... I did the same...I contacted an eBay seller advertising Ninkas with the Kustone bases. I offered to trade my bases plus $$s for his upgraded bases if his speakers failed to meet his reserve. He did not sell his speakers for his reserve so he traded bases with me, I ended up paying 200 USD plus shipping. He later sold the speakers with standard bases for a lower price. I would keep your eyes open and make offers. You might get lucky. |

Thanks MisterEd and bmdduck, I successfully did the same. It took some time but finally worked out. |
