Do you have an educated guess - if my twisted metal stand will affect the
sound somehow, then how does it affect?
Depending on what frequencies the speaker
and speaker stands are compliant in, the
loudness will drop/attenuate.


Maybe slightly dampen some of the lower frequencies?
You will see multiple frequencies being
effected, if effective. Mid to upper bass
and midrange are the easiest to control.


Maybe the twisted piece of metal can even act as a comb filter? Could it
even possibly reduce transient playback?

Please define what you mean by "transient
playback?"


Any ideas what kind of music or test signals I should listen to if I build
this stand and then test it out?
IME, because multiple frequencies are
involved testing should be done using single
or wobble frequency test bands, as opposed
to Pink or White noise. Stereophile has one
for $10 or you can use a computer to burn a
CD with them on it.

By recording and then comparing the sound
pressure differences of the speakers on or
off the stand you should see an
accumulative/significant overall dB output
drop from the speakers. Comparing two
speakers one on the stand an one off you
should notice a sound balance/loudness
difference.
