Hello everyone,

I am looking into raising my speakers slightly off of the cabinet they're set on (and away from the little guy's greasy fingers a bit too but that’s probably futile). I’m looking to raise them both so that they’re a tad higher (they don’t need much, they're already near ear level) but also, mostly, so that they’re a little more isolated from the cabinet which had a tendency to resonate and which might be causing some bouncing of the sound.

In any case, my requirements are a little odd: I need to put two fairly large bookshelf speakers (Triangle Magellan Duetto: 18.1”H x 9.96”W x 13.78”D and 35 pounds) on very short stands: 10” or so on the left and 13” or so on the right (the 2 pieces of furniture they’re on are not the same height and the stands could compensate for that). Therefore, I am looking to see if anyone has recommendations on either adjustable height stands or custom order stands. The husband acceptance factor needs to be high (and yes, that's me, I hate this wife acceptance notion, I actually care at least as much as my wife what the living room looks like ;).

So far I’ve found a couple of shops on etsy that look promising but I was curious to see if anyone has other suggestions (and I’m going to stay away from woven baskets I’ve seen recommended in other threads, I think the speakers are a little heavy for that).

Custom speaker stands on etsy:

Cheers!
Alex.

Find a local wood worker!

I'd offer my services, but shipping might be more expensive than the stands!

Sometimes it feels like outsourcing out of the Bay Area is the only way to get anything at a reasonable price. ;)

Well, get an idea of design and color and hit me up! I do hand rubbed stains and clear coat, but a piano black or similar painted is just as achievable.
