Stand Recommendation

I'm looking at picking up a pair of Fritz' Carbon 7 monitors (http://www.fritzspeakers.com/Carbon%207.asp) - measuring 16H x 9W x 12D.

Consequently, I also need to pick up a pair of stands. In looking around, "good" stands seem to be ridiculously expensive.

I'd like heavy, wood stands that are mass loadable (kids & cats at home), as well as unfinished and/or as a kit so that I can save some cost and match the speaker finish myself.

So, any suggestions or thoughts on who offers such a stand at a reasonable price.

Thanks in advance,

Tim

go to the home depot and buy you a cylinder with open inside the height you want...buy two pieces of woods the width and depth you need to stable the cylinder...screw the wood into the cylinder or glue..which i did...pour dry sand into the cylinder before adding the top piece of wood , get you some stain and you are in business..all at home depot..++++++++++++++++++++:::::::..forgot you can paint or wrap the cylinder......

Two concrete blocks placed one on top of another, on end, make an extremely cheap and effective stand. If placed on carpet, cones underneath are helpful. Sonically, they are as good as anything! They can be spray painted whatever color you wish, but flat black is this audiophile's choice.
