Mapleshade bedrock stands for large monitors

I've read all the hype on these stands and even tried a low cost diy version and I have to say there is something going on with what Pierre has to say. Not to say he is right, but there is definitley a different sound with his low on the floor concept. Anyone actually using his stands and what are your thoughts? Thanks!

I will email you my DIY version that I used to evaluate Mapleshade's stands the best I could to try it. He does offer a 30 day money back guarantee as well.

Hi Jim

Thanks so much for sharing your DIY version of the Mapleshade stands. They are quite nice and I think I'm going to try to piece together a pair of stands for my KEF speakers.

In general is there a rule regarding the size of the wood platforms vs the size of the speaker you will be putting them on? The footprint of my speakers is 10" wide and 12" deep. I was hoping to save some money and buy a maple butcher blocks that are 12" x 12" and 3" high. So width wise I'll only have an inch on each side and depth wise it would be the exact size of the KEFs. Would this be enough wood to isolate the speaker from the floor? I'd be adding 1-2" brass carpet spikes b/w the wood block and my carpeted floor. I'd then use 3 2" brass footers b/w the speakers and the maple block.

Thanks in advance.
