There IS NO consensus on panel mods / reframe.
The Magnestand I've heard were GOOD with real wood. Others swear by metal reinforcement or a simple addition of 'Mye' stands. Part of the Magnestand changes involve crossover mods, so THAT's another factor to consider.
Some guys go after the pole piece with damping or even isolate the driver FROM the frame with some kind of vibration absorbent material.
Some will couple / spike to the floor. I've seen GRANITE used in stands. Other mods involve an element of isolation or CLD between panel/frame and the floor (CLD=Constrained Layer Damping)
So, if you want wood, Build 'em and they will come. Want bridgework? Break out the welding goggles. Corian? Aluminum? Plyboo?
Lots of discussion, some slightly heated, but little actual 'agreement'. The important thing is to HAVE FUN.
Too much is never enough
