Stand Recommendation

I'm looking at picking up a pair of Fritz' Carbon 7 monitors (http://www.fritzspeakers.com/Carbon%207.asp) - measuring 16H x 9W x 12D.

Consequently, I also need to pick up a pair of stands. In looking around, "good" stands seem to be ridiculously expensive.

I'd like heavy, wood stands that are mass loadable (kids & cats at home), as well as unfinished and/or as a kit so that I can save some cost and match the speaker finish myself.

So, any suggestions or thoughts on who offers such a stand at a reasonable price.

Thanks in advance,

Tim

Here's a link to an article that walk'll you through on how to built the speakers stands that Dwhitt mentions.

Twb2,

"concrete blocks"? Might work if you're a guy living a 'frat house" or in your Mom's basement, but if you're married with children you're going to need something a little more refined (WAF friendly). Hopefully you weren't being serious with your suggestion, as it's so 1970's hippy burnout (and yes, back in my hippy days I had my speakers setting on top of some "concrete blocks"), and I doubt that nowadays anyone would "dare" put the "concrete block" speaker stands in their living/family room, unless they were going for that "'po white trash trailer park" look.
