Hi Ya'll. OK, heres the situation...(wasn't that in a song )...anyway, at the house I have a pair of MONSTER size speakers: Sansui SP-5000s (95wt, 7way with adjustable crossovers for tweeters and midrange). Yes, I've heard better too, but right now the child proof factor is important at Rancho d'Redneck, and these fit the bill. These weigh somewhere in the neighborhood of 75-100lb ea. I'd like to raise them about 8-12in and would like some serious suggestions on stands - and I'd rather make 'em myself.
I've read alot of talk about stands, but usually, for smaller monitor type speakers. Any thoughts for these tanks (burning them is not an option )
In truth they sound good with my Adcom Amp and PreAmp.
Heelllllppp!

They sound better when I am sitting on the floor than in my chair and my head is about a foot 'n a half higher in the chair.
So you think a hollow box with damping would be better than, say a box filled with sand for a large mass?
Or are you suggesting some kind of multi-layered sandwich?

Mrs. Redneck would just love that!
Yes, I have tried to tilt them, but decided against that for several reasons.
Actually, now that you mention it, I have enough carpet scraps in the attice, from when it was laid, to cover the stands (insert lightbulb going off). The sandwich just might work out.

Question: Stands for heavy speakers
