I'm with the others. Lets reedit.
1) Speaker stands ($50-whatever)
(wood can be nice if done well, if you do metal it must sand filleable. I've used the Cinder blocks myself, I feel like a tweek saying this, but turn them so the holes are facing you--should minimize diffraction more)
2) Acoustic Treatment (<$75)
3) Cables (DIY)
4) Deadening speaker cabinets w/ dynamat (<$50)
These'll get you mileage until you get your better components. Decide which ones you can use in your system since you didn't specify your speakers or other things. Look up the older threads like, "best cheap tweek" "best inexpensive tweek" etc.
