If anyone has OEM stands for the Monitor 10s I need the measurements of the part between the base and the metal plate. The dimensions of the outside will be enough......I can figure out the height. I have a pair of the metal plates and the bases can be whatever size I want. TIA

    Thanks Rev. That's exactly what I needed. Stands are easy to make from scratch but since I have the top plates I can keep the factory slant but I wanted to have the column measurements so the plates fit correctly. Many thanks..

    Don, I made some stands for my 10's. And to my ears the 6 degree tilt was too much. Mine are at 2 degrees.

    I will probably be making some stands this week and it would be easy to cut just 5 more boards and experiment with the 3deg. angle. Several years back I had another pair of 10s on the Polk stands and they sounded great. Then I discovered the B&W 801s and 803s (used matrix) and foolishly sold the 10s. I have my Monitor 7s on Wood Tech. stands that have no tilt and they sound good but these are the only 7s I've owned and really haven't done any serious listening.
    Thanks for your feedback on the angles.

    I like the lip on the top in the first photo. I've been experimenting with different bits in my router to see what edge looks the best. I know it doesn't affect the sound or the utility of the stand.............just doing it for fun:smile:
    Thanks for the photos.

    I have some 5/4 cherry that I need to run through the joiner and planer so I may use this.
    I notice your 10s have the silver tweeter that so many here don't like.......hows it work for you? Mine have the 2500s which sound good to me......I don't know how old they are since I bought them used. I also have 7s and 5jrs with the silver tweeter but I haven't listened to them enough to know if they'll be too bright.
