tbergman Full Audioholic Sep 24, 2008 279 0 0 Ames, IA Mar 23, 2009 #1 I'm building my own speaker stands currently and I'm looking to put something between the speaker and the top of the stand. The stand top is walnut and the speak is an infinity beta 20 and I want to keep the speaker firmly in place and prevent any vibration. Any ideas? Links to materials would be awesome.

I use that kitchen drawer no-slip stuff in my bedroom system and it works well without costing much. I use Auralex MoPads on my front 3 in my main system, mainly because it allowed me to get the 4 degree angle on my center with them, but they are $40 a pair. Reactions: tbergman

Click to expand... yeah, I saw you sold them not too long after I picked up a pair, wish I could have picked yours up as they were quite a bit cheaper than mine were.
