Stands and coupling for Yamaha NS1000M


Hey guys.

I have been doing a lot of DIY of late and made some stands for my Yamaha NS1000M speakers.


I made some out of wooden worktop and resemble the Kenrick Sounds stands.


My question is this.


1. Should I couple the speaker to the stands with some feet, or

2. should I sit it directly - ie cabinet to wood stand

3. same as above but the feet of the stands

4. If so what do I use for the feet

5. has anyone tried deflex panels to couple speakers to the floor or to stands?

The original stands were way too short I thought, more to please "the one who must be obeyed" than an audiophile/owner looking for the best sound. You want that tweeter/mid to be at ear level.

I've owned NS1000M and X's, and  NS10000

Very solid open metal box type stands like these

(height tweeter/mid point ear level) speakers blu-tacked to the stands, stands spiked into cement slab floor.

If the floor is suspended (wood/cement sheet) "do not spike" into it as you make the floor into a sound board, try to isolate as much as possible (rubber feet etc etc).
