Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

Not really

You have an overactive imagination. Certainly metal stands ring, and there's no reason to prefer them to concrete. A large stand mount speaker with a rigid cabinet and a big or long throw woofer is probably better put on a high mass stand. And nothing will sound good on a stand so flimsy that the speaker moves noticeably with the music. But within reason, mass and material don't matter at all with small speakers or speakers like Harbeths Notice what I said about the open frame wooden speakers that some Harbeth users like. They work well with the bass heavy M40 because of the absence of an elongated baffle ordinarily created by high mass 4 post stands.
