>>I thought it was soup cans? Or is that just for the QS8's?

Bingo. Soup cans for QS8s at the old house (now replaced with the soup-can-inspired but highly attractive FMB-QS stands) and an empty M2i box for the VP100 in the new house.

After seeing Mdrew's beautiful stands I'm not sure what to replace the M2 box with that could possibly measure up... I'm thinking maybe a maglev arrangement...
