I have often used wooden stools like you can buy at target. And yes I put hockey pucks under the speakers. They work great and if and when you save up and buy real speaker stands, you've got a couple extra places to sit (yourself, your friends, your drink of choice, etc.).
Speaker Stands?
Ok so Im moving my speakers from my house and their nice comfy spots on old speakerstands to my apartment at school. I dont get to take the speaker stands because they are my dads and he is going to put his speakers back on them(he bought me JM Lab speakers for christmas). So what should I put my speakers on? The floor is wood and floating with carpet over it. And the room size is about 10X14 but not all of it is useable space. The speakers are JM Lab 906. What should I put the speakers on? Get stands with spikes or should i put them on hockey pucks or what?
