My ''Cheap'' Speaker Stands

OK here goes. Last week I went with Mrs. P-man to the local silent auction and came across a nice looking but broken set of speaker stands. I debated putting in a bid. Like I need anything else in the black hole. Well I placed the minimum bid of $3 and won them. Today I
stopped by the Home Depot and bought $8 worth of supplies. Changed the top plate from 5''x5'' to 5.5''x9'' to acommodate my Polk LSi 9's.Then I lowered them by 10'' so the tweeter would end up about 36'' from the floor. Here they are with the LSi 9's on top.

Good job, look like Sanus stands.

The best way to predict the future is to invent it.

They look fantastic for $11 and some elbow grease. Nice pickup!afterburnt wrote: »They didn't speak a word of English, they were from South Carolina.

Well,
they weren't one dollar but they look great!
well done again. -
nice! I love rehab/repurpose projects.
those leftovers would make a great set of stands for computer speakers.
maybe throw some spikes on them?I disabled signatures. -
I like those stands, I think the Polk photos on their website were LSi9 in cherry on those exact stands.Magico, JL, Emm, ARC Ref 10 line, ARC Ref 10 phono, VPI, Lyra, Boulder, AQ Wel, SRA Scuttle Rack, Bluesound

Here is one of a pair I picked up at the local resale. My Monitor 7's were to heavy for them so I cut some closet rod scrap I had laying around for extra support. Very stable, all in for less than fifteen bucks. Looks like the same Sanus stands.
