Related to Twb2s idea. Go to a store that sells yard statues and other concrete articles and buy 2 colloms. some are quite good looking and can be painted to match whatever you want. I had though I discovered this myself but I found someone from Italy had suggested it some time ago. Google concrete speaker stands.
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
