Am I crazy????? Try THIS


So my friend needs stands for his book shelf speakers. We can't find any in my little town. I had an idea, HANG THEM!!! They sound so much better. Why? Before you get crazy we didn't have to drill the cabinets or anything we just built a "harness" of sorts. It looks somewhat different, but for about $11.75 we hung both his speakers with braided wire and some eye screws etc. And they sound better to me. Anyone done this?

I think stability is the best approach.
Hanging them,you still will get vibration from the ceiling going down the wire to the speaker.
Try some cinder blocks.Different sizes avaliable.
I built some cinder block stands for a pair if dynaco A-1's I picked up for 5 bucks/pair.
The blocks are 6"x6"x18" high and solid,not hollow.Weigh a ton!
I painted them black,liguid nailed them to some 12"x12" ceramic foor tiles (for the base) I then put 4 round,wooden balls (walMart) under the tiles and put some blu-tak on the top of the blocks and speakers on top and have some very heavy and solid DIY stands.Total cost ~ $10/pair.
