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

Twb2,

"concrete blocks"? Might work if you're a guy living a 'frat house" or in your Mom's basement, but if you're married with children you're going to need something a little more refined (WAF friendly). Hopefully you weren't being serious with your suggestion, as it's so 1970's hippy burnout (and yes, back in my hippy days I had my speakers setting on top of some "concrete blocks"), and I doubt that nowadays anyone would "dare" put the "concrete block" speaker stands in their living/family room, unless they were going for that "'po white trash trailer park" look.

Fritz makes great stuff. Don't skimp on the stands. They act as part of the speaker and are instrumental in obtaining a good sound. IMO, find a pair of the 4-post Target MR stands and be done with it so you can really enjoy your new speakers.

The ones I recommended don't look bad. If you want to spend the money Skylan is very good.
