Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater Adjustable oak speaker stands

Very nice, as everything I have seen that you have done.

Impressive stands, they look better built than the speakers! Of course being my lazy self, I would have just mounted them to the wall.

Thanks for the compliments everyone. The trick to working with wood isn’t so much skill related, but knowing how to use the tools and building a bunch of jigs and accessories for use with the tools/machines. Then you just let the tools do the work for you. Finishing on the other hand is something that does take skill. A skill that I don’t have or ever will have. I don’t have the patience for it. I can’t even wax my vehicles without using power tools……

I did think about mounting them to the wall, but once they get mounted, their there for good. I had a sketch of an adjustable wall mount I was dreaming up, but I just couldn’t figure out how to make it look good with the slides and dovetails exposed. I wanted it to move up / down, right / left. – So I gave up and just built the stands.

MacGyver? You can be TOTALLY honest with us here on this board, did you retire and take up wood working?

Hi Mike,

Do you have your M22 twins running in parallel on the same amp channel, or are they powered by two individual amp channels?

PS - those stands are amazing! Great job...

All Alaskans have a little McGiver blood in them. At least those of us who live in the bush and spend time in the outdoors do. If not, we’d be bear bate.

Yes Jason, they are running parallel off the center channel amp in the AVR (HK 7300).

Wow Mike those stands look awesome ... but after seeing the work you put into your absolutely beautiful home your skills do not surprise me. I really like the fact that they are not only gorgeous but they are functional to boot, damn fine work my man!

I'd still love to get up your way and take a listen to your dual M22 setup for your centers, I'm bettin' they sound mighty fine.

Beautiful work, Mike. I love that room. Are you happy with the lens?

All this praise is giving me a big head. Good thing Sarah’s away for a while or she’d leave me.

Just get your asses up here Rick. I think I can line out a plane for you to buz around in too.

The lens is pretty trick Tom. I can’t really test it out yet in stretch mode until the Firehawk screen shows up. If I shrink the image by un-zooming and then stretch it with the lens to the width of the screen I have now, I can not see any distortion or any other undesirable effects in any way. But I’ll have to wait and put it through the tests when the other screen gets here.
