The
Omega Grande 6 and Skylan stands at 6moons!
The stands
"The speakers were placed on Skylan 20" high mass loading stands custom
designed for Omega, by Noel Nolan of Calgary, Alberta/Canada. They are different (read:
not steel or regular wood), so I gave Noel a call to chat. His accent surprised me. Turns
out, Noel came to Calgary from Ireland in 1976 "just to get away, to follow a dream,
see the world", he said. Obviously, he decided to stay and brought with him his
background in pressure vessel fabrication and steel manufacturing (think gas tanks/lines
that carry fuels from fields)."
"...Noelıs
shop is a two-man operation. He says it's not a long process but does it all mostly by
hand, believing this to be more accurate. As in Louis' shop, youıll find no CNC router
here. Still, the corners are rounded which is nice and friendly. Two yellow racks [see one
above] are made for apres-paint drying as the columns, custom extruded in British
Columbia, arrive at Skylan's in 3.5" x 3.5" inch square shape with a 1/8 inch
wall thickness and require a surface finish."
