I am ready to order, and I prefer the look of a "monitor" speaker on an attrative stand, as opposed to the speaker look like a floor standing tower. Anybody have any stands that they really like to recommend? Any pics??

Check out the stands that Curtis had made (I think by RAD) - http://www.frappr.com/ascendacoustic...s/photo/514406
Very nice looking stands, IMO. If you don't want the wood look, check out some of the other threads here on stands like this: http://forum.ascendacoustics.com/showthread.php?t=1599 (the thread is about 170 stands, but most companies make different height versions of the same stands).
I purchased these:

I'm generally happy with them, well-made. You just have to like silver. They seem to match the functional look of the 340 SEs perfectly.
I built these for real cheap:

Sorry I don't have any pictures with the 340s on them - I'll get around to buying a digital camera one of these days But they did look good on them.

Thanks for the advice and links. Those home built stands look nicer than the "Store bought". But, since I have enough trouble hooking up the speaker wires, I'll have to buy.
Here are some stands I bought for my 340s (wife vetoed the Ascend stands, LOL) which I’ve been very happy with, they look good, were easy to assemble and very reasonably priced:

It’s usually very hard to find good speaker stands locally; selection is usually poor and prices grossly inflated. Here are some good online sources:
partsexpress.com
hififorless.com
cousinsvideo.com
racksandstands.com (a little expensive but huge selection)

I got these Omnimount 24's from ebay for less than $50.
You can get them at Best Buy also.

Is anybody using these stands with their 340s. Are they stable enough for 340??
