I made this very solid stand for my B&W CDM 1SE: two inch dia. black iron pipe 24 in. long threaded on both ends. Add the mating round flanges and screw them to 11 or 12in. square piece of 7ply oak plywood as base and same stuff cut to size of speaker bottom for top(use Dremel to grind off screw tips if exposed). Add thin sheet of rubber or some cones for isolation under speaker. Add 4 simple threaded spikes with two nuts each to holes in base and there you go.(haven't found these yet- any suggestions out there?) The pipes can also be filled with sand or lead shot. Got pipes cut and threaded at Home Depot for next to nothing;wood and flanges came from there too. I put a light coat of satin black paint on the pipes and fittings. The oak can be sealed with tung oil or polyurethane with or without stain. I left mine natural and they look great. I bet they can rival the expensive stuff in functionality. You can spend the money saved on better speaker cables. Paul
