All you need is a well-secure wall shelf. Batten the back wall for additional stability if you need to, but it's still the best way of dealing with both vibrational and air-borne issues:

It's doubled in price in twenty years. £99 retail is minimum £65 to the dealer (they make little on Rega products and it'd be nearer £70). Take away shipping costs and box and the fact I don't believe Rega make it themselves... Not hideous money I feel for a retail product not made in China for pennies...

Rip off on add-ons to me are the Tontrager speaker stands in Germany. A squarish base with a black painted thin wood space-frame stand on top, lovingly planed and painted and a loving spiel about the hand crafted nature for a thousand Euro's. A must for discerning German audiophiles and the sheeple defend them to the end at this price, which adds cachet to the brand.

My downstairs speaker stands are a pair of oak lamp tables custom made to size-fit the speakers for seventy five quid or so.
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way...The time has gone, The song is over, Thought I'd something more to say...

They do look pretty
I try to diy or as they say today- recycle.
My stands are acmetal tube from an old sun shade with the base shaped from a combination of a ‘rehab slide board’ & kids school desk.
I always bought floor standers as I was too tight to pay for additional stands for bookshelf type

WAF is simply a fact of life for most and, to be fair to my better half, I myself like things to look nice in my living space and why not.

WAF is only about speakers, is a term employed by speaker company designers for multi small driver thin cabinets. Wife acceptance in anything else is just that, they should not be confused.

My deck sits on a slab of wooden worktop, the double sink cut out in fact, 40mm thick iroko and that sits on a 20" inner tube, which is recessed into the underside of the iroko lump. All inflated to act as a low frequency spring. cheap as chips, but a bugger to level

Have used an inner tube too, got the idea from the mega pricy Townsend air support- I forget it’s name
