Speaker Stands are expensive
Does anyone Know any "inexpensive" Speaker Stand solutions? Why are they trying to jack a brother so blatantly for at least sixty bucks a pair for lousy speaker stands. I paid much less for the surround sound speakers. |

Two options:
A) Buy some wire and hang the biatches from the ceiling. B) Buy some plywood, dowel rods, and a hole saw. Use said hole saw to cut a hole in said plywood and the bottom of said speakers. Insert dowel rod into plywood and speaker. Strategically place. Voila! [Edited by coleslaw on 04-18-2001 at 09:15 PM]

We just bought those wood barstools from Wal-Mart, very
sturdy and I think they were $20 each. |

My whole entertainment center is standing on bricks and plywood. When arranged neatly, a minimalist solution such as that will probably look better than most cheesy speaker stands or poorly constructed home-made wooden stands (or even bar stools..hehe)...

How could bricks and plywood look good?

I just use cheapo Target/Home Depot 11 dollar shelves. They are just the right height, and as a bonus hold DVD's well.

Well, most houses are built out of bricks and plywood, so somehow there is a way to make that look good. Maybe some vinyl siding or a fresh coat of paint will do the trick? I detect that another trip to Home Depot is in order...
