Mighty Favog Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 For my future home office, I have a pair of Technics SB7's, but they're going to be sitting on some very padded and thick carpet. I like these but can't really see paying $300 for a pair of JBL JS120's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thaddeus Smith Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 More expensive, but worth sharing.. https://deercreekaudio.com/products/type-c-for-jbl-l100-classic Found this via an older audiokarma post.. https://www.aandmcustomsteelspeakerstands.com/productss---pricing-1 https://audiokarma.org/forums/index.php?threads/looking-for-speaker-stands.842721/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thaddeus Smith Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 Oh man, I assumed per pair. It's not clear on his site. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woofers and Tweeters Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 Do you weld or know someone who does? For the cost of the 1" square tubing, plastic feet, a rattle can of paint and a case of beer, you can make them for well under $100. If you have a body shop friend, he could hit them with some quality automotive paint and you'd still be under $100. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is one here at the house, a small wire feed CH, but I've never touched it. I'm more of a wood person. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Due to drawing (shrinking), welding will take something that was square and leave it in a twist. It was just a thought. A high school student in a vocational welding department would like that project, but... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJkizak Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 It's easy until you try it. First you must purchase the square tubing which looks like 1" x 1/8" thickness. (not very cheap) Then you have to make the angle cuts (By the drawing you made) if your pretty good with a hacksaw or purchase a 500 dollar cutoff saw. Then clean off the ends of the steel ( a new body grinder or bench grinder) and secure it properly with clamps. (Clamps aren't cheap either) Tac weld the joints first so you don't warp the crap out of it. Don't forget to set the feed and heat of the mig welder. ($500.00) And purchase the argon bottle ($75.00) while your at it and turn it on. (Gauges $150.00) And don't forget the helmut ($60.00) or you will go blind. The mig wire is also not free. All this stuff is done on a metal bench which is not free either. You will need a drill and drill bits to drill mounting holes if you fasten it to something. Then paint it with something. And that opens up a pandora's box of new required equipment. MY MY, what a piece of cake. JJK 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shiva Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 How about something a little more organic and woody. The price is for two stands. Free shipping too. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Custom-Made-Heavy-Duty-large-Speaker-Stands-14-SOLID-OAK-Wood/184135209482?hash=item2adf50520a:g:oyoAAOSwat9ebclB 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wish you were closer, we could make them at no cost.

Those look nicer than the metal ones, too. Make some to match or contrast your desk. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babadono Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 I'm prolly buttin' in where I don't belong but @Mighty Favog aren't you in Cincinnati? I don't know why I think that, remembering something but don't recall what. Lexington ain't that far away. You and @Woofers and Tweeters could swap lies and swat flies. And you get some near free speaker stands A course it all moot if you really want wood stands. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
