hey guys. SO, I found some cool Polk audio vintange bookshelf speakers in a pawn shop and will have them out of Layway(yeah pawn shops have layaway) in less then a month. They are these speakers:

now I'm not sure, if according to the weight it shows at the bottom if 2 speakers equal 4o lb's or just one speaker is 40 lbs. I was wondering if anyone knew of some inexpensive ways of building speaker stands using PVC pipe or something like that to hold these speakers up, being as heavy as they are. I want to make the stands look decent. I'll probally paint them a basic black eventhough the speakers are wooden looking. Another thing is what could i use to make sure the speakers don't going bouncing off when the base starts rumbling from these things? I had the pawn shop owner hook the speakers to a reciever and they sounded awesome. Really sounded great and in excellent condition. Any links on building these would be cool, and very helpful. Thanks guys.
