All of my components are sitting on Brightstar platforms except for my power amp. However, I have never used the platforms as speaker stands. Mapleshade records sells maple speaker stands, but they are a little pricey.

If you are interested in maple stands, I would consider just purchasing a pair of 3-4 inch maple cutting boards for a lot less than Mapleshade. I am actually using one for my power amp with excellent results. Checkout this web site:
