I'm thinking on adding speaker stands for my Front L/R speakers. They're fairly large book shelf speakers (Boston Acoustics HD-8's).


Is there any sound difference between wood (MDF) or metal stands?


I would think the metal stands would weigh more and therefore be more stable but I have no experience in this area.


I plan on raising them 8-12 inches to add some clarity and to get the tweeters closer to ear level when sitting on the couch


Thanks,


Tom W

Look for stands that are sand fillable. That will add a lot of additional weight and add to stability.


There is no sound difference in regards to the material the stand is made out of.
