I use heavy mass speaker stands from Partsexpress.com. These are distributed or built by dayton. Good weight and well constructed. Easy to assemble. Fill the tube with lead shot like from shotgun shells. Mix with sand, washed and dried, if you need to cut expenses.Then I use three marble 12 inch tiles from home depot. Use popsicle sticks from the dollar store. And use Real Butyl Rubber auto windshield gasket material or black silicone. I use the popsicle sticks to establish a 3/8 inch rubber or silicone layer between the three marble tiles.
Remove the popsicle sticks when the rubber or silicone has had 48 hours to cure.
Then make sure the speakers are spiked to the marble. This both decouples and mass loads your speaker for optimum sound. I will send pictures if you forward your email address.
