I'm designing a simple speaker stand. My question is: if the speaker will
sit on a kind of spring or rather if the whole stand is a slightly
springy-like, will this somehow affect the sound coming from the speaker
compared to if the speaker was on a heavy and solid object? This stand is
not necessarily for high-end use, but certainly hifi, or at least I hope
so. So should a speaker stand be very solid to prevent vibration of the
stand. The speaker's weight is about 6-8kg.

ps. If you know any nice looking short, about 40cm high speaker stands,
I'd be delighted to check it out.

Your speakers are likely to sound better on this than anything you can build
even near the prize. Just out of curiosity, what kind of speakers will be
"hifi" at 6-8 kilos a piece? My experience tells me that at that weight the
box will typically compromise the sound to a significant degree. But then
again, I haven't heard them all.

Cheers,
