I never realised how expensive lead shot would be, so it might well be sand for a start off!

Thanks Doc,

Very useful.

Who would have thought there was a crossover between Hi-Fi and teddy-bear making!

Thats the same shot I bought I think. Worked a treat. Just use a big funnel to put it into the stands saves making a mess.

Doc, I’d like to buy the best stand possible for the Cubes. Marble is not such a big issue here, so I’d like to copy your stand. Could you please tell me the measurements, and how do you attach the speakers to the stone? Thanks!

I use metal frame screwed in to the wall, upon which my speakers sit. Better than any stand I've used
