MDF vs. Steel Speaker Stands

Thanks to all for very hepful comments. I will contact Skylan and see what they can do.

The cheapest way to go is go Home Depot!!!!!!!!

1pc. of 4"x 8" x 6' ( Douglas Fir)..$8.00 (ask them to cut size desire)

1pc of 2" x 2"x ?..$20..(ask them to cut 6.5"x7.5" top base
and 12"x 13" for bottom base or larger?

Order 8 spikes for $30 and install.

I did mine and heavy enough as you can see in my virtual system w/Proac Studio 110..almost like your spendor.

Just sharing.

I have gone back and fourth on this, I have Skylan and Target steel stands for my Spendors, they do not sound the same. The steel has more top end and retail, the MDF more laid back. I have some Micro Bearings ordered to load the steel stands, I took the kitty litter out of the Skylan . I like the steel better at the moment but am still working on them. The Atacama stands look good and are not too high.

If you decide on MDF, Scott should be able to build you what you want within your budget...
