In Reply to: DIY speaker stands- Solid MDF or sand filled? posted by orpheus on March 10, 2007 at 10:47:58:
It sounds like a lot of people recommend sand filled stands. I think I'm going to build a box out of MDF, brace it with holes drilled into the braces, then fill it with sand. I only need about an 18" high box, so it can all be done with one sheet of MDF.I am thinking about fitting the top plate of the stand inside the opening in the box, so that the speaker would "float" on the sand. Is this a stupid idea? It would make the whole thing more difficult, and it might not even be good.
Thanks again for your responses-
Aaron.
