Two concrete blocks placed one on top of another, on end, make an extremely cheap and effective stand. If placed on carpet, cones underneath are helpful. Sonically, they are as good as anything! They can be spray painted whatever color you wish, but flat black is this audiophile's choice.
Stand Recommendation
I'm looking at picking up a pair of Fritz' Carbon 7 monitors (http://www.fritzspeakers.com/Carbon%207.asp) - measuring 16H x 9W x 12D.
Consequently, I also need to pick up a pair of stands. In looking around, "good" stands seem to be ridiculously expensive.
I'd like heavy, wood stands that are mass loadable (kids & cats at home), as well as unfinished and/or as a kit so that I can save some cost and match the speaker finish myself.
So, any suggestions or thoughts on who offers such a stand at a reasonable price.
Thanks in advance,
Tim
