and vacuum tube gear but I've not seen much on using a large sandbox platform for speakers. I've heard of a few very high-end systems out there employing such a platform mostly to control rooms that have suspended wood floors. I believe that Serbian designer Alex Radisavljevic of Raal Ribbon fame uses such a platform in his reference system.
The idea is a very large sandbox say ten to twelve feet wide by three feet and six to eight inches in height. Large enough to place both left and right speakers on at their proper separation distance. Obviously, this would not work for cat owners. To contain the sand, the top could be covered with a layer of cork and then use spikes under the speakers such that the spikes pierce the cork and imbed in the sand below. The cork membrane is used to seal up the sand and prevent a mess.
Has anyone here built such?

- Well, 12' by 3' at six inches would be 1,800 pounds of dry sand or 50 pounds per square foot. - cfb 05:31:11 07/23/12 (1)
