My mother-in-law was going to throw out two lengths of very wide meranti skirting she had in her garage, and I recycled them into speaker stands. I had to buy two lengths of  square 44mm meranti to complete the construction. It's very straight forward and I only have a hand mitre saw, a hand plane, and a sander, so I suppose anyone can build something similar. If there is any interest I can post some construction pics, but it seems too simple to bother with.

What would you suggest for feet under the stand and under the speaker respectively? They will always be on tiles, so I thought self-adhesive felt would be good under the stand, and I think Prestik could be OK under the speaker? I don't want to spend any real money on spikes, but if there is a cheap alternative that you could suggest I would appreciate it.
