I don't think there's any specific "brand" for speaker stands.  First of all, determine the height you need.  Try to get the tweeter to be at around ear level.  Check out audio studio in mega for some speaker stands.  If you need something custom-made, call Jun Reyes at 805-8845.  He supplies a lot of the audio shops with speaker stands and he's really good.  I got a pair of speaker stands for around P4,000 (not sure about this) and will soon be having a center speaker stand made for P2,000.

Don't know exactly what speaker cables you're looking for.  If you're looking for audiophile-grade cables such as Kimber, MIT or Audioquest, you can expect to spend P5,000 and up for a six-foot pair which is a bit too much if you're wiring up a whole HT.  If you're looking for something more reasonable, go to Raon.  If I remember correctly, I got 10 gauge for around P100 a meter for copper in a clear jacket.  You should be able to get 12 or 14 gauge under P100.

Jun Reyes is very, very good.  Pulidong-pulido ang trabaho.  I am very happy with the 3 pairs of stands and TV/AV rack I had him make for me.

As for speaker cables, I don't really know what matches the B&W well but here's some general comments:

MIT/Transparent:  never really tickled my fancy.  Sounds wierd.  My best guess is those magic boxes they put in their wires are what muddies up the sound.

Monster Cable:  expensive for what it is.

Kimber:  rather bright (4TC, 4PR, 8TC, 8PR, PBJ).

van den Hul:  great interconnects (at least for my system).  Very neutral sounding, no character of its own.  Haven't tried speaker cables.

Ixos:  my current favorite.  I have the 6003's (the braided blue-purple one).  The difference in sound quality from my old Monster guage 14s made the money I spent truly worth it as an upgrade.

Tara Labs is supposed to be good.  I saw some Nordost at Audio Den.

g3glo- were you able to buy your speaker stands?  We still have them at P700/pair.

If you want something cheaper, we can make stands made of wood lang...yun talagang mura lang!

I agree with rtsy, Jun Reyes (a.k.a. JGR). makes great speaker stands and racks.  He supplies Upscale Audio.  IMHO its better than those cheap and flimsy imported ones.  He can make a pair based on your required specs.  BTW, he can even copy those very expensive Sonus Faber Stands - the ones with wood at the sides.

Hi si Bonjit ako from Sydney Australia I would advise if you really want good speaker stands for your B&W 602
series 2 you might as well get the original stands for it kaya lang alam ko $450 Australian Dollars na ito dito sa Sydney, hindi ko lang alam kung magkano dyan sa Manila or kaya a pair of Soundstyle speaker stands which I use currently for my B&W 602 series 2 , they are very stable specially na sand fill ko pa. If you want
to find out kung available dyan sa Manila you have to find out yourself or  go to their website at soundstyle .com rated yung audio rack nila sa What HIFI.

just got a pair of B&W dm303 speakers. i'm considering mounting them to a metal hanger (bolted to ceiling frame, of course) instead of the standard stand mounts to keep my kids from hitting/playing around with them. any of you guys know

where i can find such mounts? is this a good idea in the first place? will this cause more sound distortion?

thanks!
