Wouldn't necessarily even need to be heavy bases. I'll bet that if you bolted the stands to large 2ft x 2ft bases (plywood, mdf or maybe even concrete walk pavers) then they'd be nearly impossible to tip over. Barring that, I would suggest making the stands as bottom weighted as possible. The four-post stands would probably be better than the two-post for this purpose. If the Skylan stands are filled from the bottom then you'll want to figure out some way to first fill the top 1/2 to 2/3 with a lighter material and then fill the remaining bottom with lead shot. -- JJZolx Jim ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=35325 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
