The speaker stands I have for my VMPS 626R's are a bit too high, and since Brian recommends bearded stands, I thought that DIY might be better than a commercial offering.I have thought about building a solid MDF stand by either stacking MDF cut to the speaker dimensions either vertically or horizontally. Would it be better to make a hollow box and fill it with sand or concrete, or would the stacked MDF be a good solution? I thought I'd spike the stand with some big spikes from Parts Express, three per stand, so I can level the stand.
Thank you for sharing your experience.
