Monitor Stands - Made of Stone

Friends,

I recently purchased a pair of Dutch & Dutch 8c monitors. 

I'm very disappointed by the lack of well designed (and aesthetically pleasing) stands on the market. So being an architect I’ve decided to take matters into my own hands and design my own. A very good friend of mine who’s very talented stone mason has offered to help me build a pair of stone pedestals.

I’m curious if any of you have been down this road and what type of stone you’ve used and what the results were?

I’m going to use Live Vibe Audio products beneath the monitors to displace resonance/vibration into the mass of the stone pedestals, which will yield much better results than anything placed on my 2nd level wood floor. The pedestals I’ve been told will weigh 200+ pounds each and are just simple rectangular extrusions of the monitors footprint. 
 

I welcome all thoughts and ideas.

I just installed Herbie's decoupling gliders on my Focal Kanta 3s, the regular titanium version, and have wood laminate floors over concrete. Love the improvements especially for the value.

 

My impressions versus stock metal discs: bass is cleaner and more tight, which allows the midrange to be slightly more pronounced which is exactly what I was looking for. Made the system overall more balanced in the best of ways. The gliders did that perfectly and couldn't be happier.
