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.

Hello. It seems to me that a speaker on your podiums will rock back and forth due to the pistonic action of the drivers. That seems like an undesirable thing to have happen and will negatively affect the sound. What are your thoughts ? Thank you

I watched both videos which were very good. But he only addressed vibration and from what I’ve read here if the cabinet and drivers are both moving back and forth there will be smearing. Has anyone experienced this?

Excellent post! That must sum up exactly what you are trying to accomplish with your successful product. But I am confused why you wouldn’t address my question. You sent me a PM saying you don’t get involved in forum conversations. You have massive exposure and I’m sure many sales as a result of this forum. I would think you would be eager to answer any questions we might have to garner more sales.
