@69zoso69 I was in the same boat, I did not see one ok looking speakers stand on the market, including Sonus Faber. They are incredibly ugly. So I designed one and had it made. Mine is rubber feet, wooden legs, metal base connected by bluetac. Zero resonance, or issues.
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.
