Sound Anchors stands were used, and I note that their models range from junky to quite reasonable - how well the speakers were stabilised would be critical at this quality level, so I would take this factor into account when reading of how they subjectively performed.

I do not recall the model which was provided by D&D.  I can tell you they were much heavier than the speakers.

The Sound Anchors stand had 2 pillars and was impressively rigid.   I appreciate that having at least three makes for a significant geometrical advantage (just as it does for chairs).

New to me ... looking at https://www.wisaassociation.org/press/page/7/, the first press release was at the end of 2018 - implying it's only been out there for less than a couple of years ...

There are press releases going back to 2003 but the old ones are probably deleted from the public website.   I reviewed a WiSA product several years ago (https://www.stereophile.com/content/music-round-71-page-2).

According to this, the association was established in 2011:

WiSA, as an organization was established to promote the technology but the company behind it, Summit Wireless, was established in 2003 with the stock market name WiSA.   I was present at a private demo of the technology around that time.  It was impressive and I followed them assiduously for years until I just gave up.  They still have not.
