Polk Audio - Monitor Series - Stands - Reference

Yes, the actual angle is 6 degrees, the 4 degrees is a typo on my part and an early pair of stands. Great work Rev...post some pics.

Hey,

I just picked up a pair of Monitor 10Bs with original stands. The stands are affixed to the base of the speaker with four screws. One of the stands is loose between the base of the stand and the metal plate affixed to the speaker with four screws. The screws are extremely tight and the space between the base of the stand and the speaker doesn't allow enough room to unscrew the screws without stripping them. IS there another way to tighten the base? Should I just glue the stand to the metal base?

Thanks,

Mike

Could anyone describe how the center 10.5" x 4" tilted support box (column) is constructed?

Thanks

I'm going to be building some m-10 stands soon. In looking around, I found the following website that may be useful for calculating the tilt angle:

http://blocklayer.mobi/riserun.aspx

It's a run/rise/angle calculator. You imput two variable and it solves for the third. In the revised diagram provided by dorokusai, the total rise is 1" over a run of 8.75 inches making the angle 6.5 degrees. Cutting the rise down to 1/2" lowers the angle to 3.3 degrees. If you want to lower the angle from 6 degrees, you could mess around with the calculator to determine the exact measurements necessary to build the riser.

As per my previous post; I'm a little unsure about constructing the riser. If it's made from mdf using screwed and glued butt joints, my gut says the box is a little weak to support fifty pounds, especially since all the screws would be set into the end grain of the mdf. I'm thinking the box would have to be significantly reinforced or should be made using solid wood, maybe clear doug fir, would be safer.

Would appreciate any thoughts.

I'm not sure why the pics won't load up for you....lets try this.

They always lock. I'll try and find out why.

Good simple plans! Could be made with a hand saw if necessary. I made a pair simular very easy.
