Voltron Posted September 5, 2008 Report Share Posted September 5, 2008 those 5.5 ones stable? Good point, it's only supported by one piece of wood. They are pictured in their correct orientation, so they look like they are lying on their side but they are not. Seems pretty stable to me. The main question would be whether your speaker is wide enough to sit on the two end pieces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fungi Posted September 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2008 phone books are cheap and plentiful. I'm trying to avoid the ghetto look. They are pictured in their correct orientation, so they look like they are lying on their side but they are not. Seems pretty stable to me. The main question would be whether your speaker is wide enough to sit on the two end pieces. You're right, and my speakers need a 5x6 base minimum.

lostonetr Posted September 6, 2008 Report Share Posted September 6, 2008 ah. wonder if mine would fit on them... but then I should worry about the fact that they don't work first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
socrates63 Posted October 13, 2008 Report Share Posted October 13, 2008 Never mind, the 5.5" stands on that same site will do. those 5.5 ones stable? Good point, it's only supported by one piece of wood. I am using these for my monitor speakers, and the stands are very stable and well made. They are sitting on my desk. The speaker platform is supported by two pieces of wood. I got the black ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

socrates63 Posted October 14, 2008 Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 Amazing what delegating work can do, isn't it? I've been buried in work for the last six months and spent the whole of July on a globetrotting business trip. I'm just starting to get back to all things headphones after being away for most of the year. Anyone care for a $20 15 minute camel ride? No, I'm not a terrorist.

parhelictriangle Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 Debated about bumping this since there's probably no interest, but I'm being irrational tonight. I have the Wood-Technology 8" stands Fungi linked to in post #1, and can vouch for 'em. The black finish is actually pretty decent on them; I've seen them going for cheap lately in a few places so's I didn't expect much. Figure most of you would probably go the DYI route, but these aren't bad for the price if you don't want to do any woodworking of your own. 8" is just about perfect to get the tweeters on my A5s up to ear-level, and they're purdier than the stack of phonebooks I had previously. Attached: world's shittiest picture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
socrates63 Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 You need to get a cooler looking mouse than that old Intellimouse. It looks out of place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parhelictriangle Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 There's actually an immaculate, white, nub-free wireless apple mighty mouse behind my computer stand. It was banished to that desktop Siberia a few weeks back when the scrollball/clitmouse thingy stopped functioning for the 3207 time in two years. The intellimouse had acquired an interesting patina over the last 8 or so years, but it still works like buttah. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
