Speaker Stand Design?

Starting to think about wood speaker stands designs for my Harbeth M30's.

Some considerations: High or Low Mass (?), Wood density, Wood Joinery (rigidity)

Anyone use the Wayne Taylor (Low Mass) Speaker Stands http://www.austinhifi.com/waynetaylor.html

Those are metal, but I could build something very similar out of solid wood.

For High Mass I was initially thinking to work off the Mapleshade philosophy, thick solid wood base, with good solid anchoring to the top plate and speaker.

Any thoughts would be appreciated! Thanks!

Here is a design that I will be making when I have my new listening chair. Your design philosophy is spot on, thicker wood and more weight = less vibration. Herbies Fat Dots under your monitors would also be a good idea.
Do a "DIY Speaker Stand" search and check out more designs.
Good-Luck
