Physics tells us nothing of the kind. Speaker stands do not convert
vibration into heat at all. This is nonsense.

What???

When resonant is dissipated where do
you think it goes?


Naturally, you want a stand that can support the speaker weight and that
isn't likely to tip over.
Agreed.

Beyond elevating the speaker to ear level there is nothing else
significant about speaker stands.
Hehehe... oh-right!


I would suggest you ask the same question
over on rec.audio.tech and mention the alleged vibratin to heat problem
and see what kind of response you get.

So your basis of knowledge on the subject
is what others tell you? How about doing
the work yourself, mr. Arm-chair
Commander?
