Description:<\/b> First and foremost I have to qualify\/justify why I made these speaker stands (before the audiophiles out there cry blasphemy and take me for a fool not understanding the need for a $300 USD stand with zero resonance and spikes\/cones for legs) <\/p>\n

1) I needed to space out the speakers on my system to create a larger soundstage. <\/p>\n

2) To me speaker stands are glorified stools <\/p>\n

3) I don’t have a proper workshop. (Over here in Singapore we live in tiny 3 room sardine cans which we spend our whole life’s paying for). And as such anything I would do to modify\/hack had to be simple. <\/p>\n

4) Did I mention I think speaker stands are just glorified stools?…I ain’t gonna pay $300 USD for stools! <\/p>\n

So, one Friday afternoon I spent my time walking around my friendly Ikea store..I had been inspired by other cool ikeahacks (ie. Sexy legs stands, lamp\/stands..) and wanted to do one myself… <\/p>\n

Lo and behold! $6 USD shoe racks!..And at the optimum floor to sitting ear height of 60cm! <\/p>\n

The mod work is rather simple. <\/p>\n

1) Open and assemble said racks (you don’t really need to follow the provided 1 page manual) <\/p>\n

2) Cut a wooden board to fit the top where the speaker is going to sit on <\/p>\n

3) Spray paint the whole thing midnight black ($1 USD can of spray paint) <\/p>\n

And voila!…Speaker stands!…with a greatly expanded soundstage to boot and only for what…$13USD!!!!! <\/p>\n
