genek Posted February 4, 2012 Report Share Posted February 4, 2012 One of the reasons the X-stand is not considered suitable for the 4 and smaller series is their lighter weight. With the weight of a 3, 5 or 2 series speaker on them they don't seem to ever go over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeF Posted February 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2012 No kids running around so I think if I keep them to about 8" high and add some bracing and small carpet spikes,they should be fine. Stability is one reason I would build them slightly larger than the speakers so that the 94's would be set inside the leg tops and not on top or extending outside them. I just want to pick these speakers up off the floor about 8 inches. AR stand clones aren't necessary but I'm not finding other stands that look good and stable for, say, $100/pair. If I had skills and all the tools, I'd custom build something. How tough should stands be, right?Thanks for the info and tips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
