I would use low mass on carpeting and high mass on wood. That works for me with C7's. I now use Skylan's filled with kitty litter on hardwood floors and it blows away low mass. I can't get a glass of water to ripple sitting on the floor. Hope this helps.
Speaker Stand Design?
Starting to think about wood speaker stands designs for my Harbeth M30's.
Some considerations: High or Low Mass (?), Wood density, Wood Joinery (rigidity)
Anyone use the Wayne Taylor (Low Mass) Speaker Stands http://www.austinhifi.com/waynetaylor.html
Those are metal, but I could build something very similar out of solid wood.
For High Mass I was initially thinking to work off the Mapleshade philosophy, thick solid wood base, with good solid anchoring to the top plate and speaker.
Any thoughts would be appreciated! Thanks!
