Hello Shokunin,
When I first put the LRC in the room I tried putting it on a super-heavy duty shelf bracketed bolted to the wall (supposed to be able to hold something like 600 pounds). Unfortunately, the weight and vibration of the LRC resulted in a catastrophic failure
. I should have known better
I then built this stand which works really well for me:
Basically made from 3.5" PVC and 3/4 MDF. Since I have all the tools it took me about 2 hours to make. I cut 3.5" MDF plugs that fit into the top and bottom of the PVC. A few hidden countersunk wood screw hold everything together. The PVC is filled with about 80 pounds of sand so these stands are very heavy with no resonance that I have noticed. The LRC sits on a thin, non-skid rubber pad to reduce potential wood to wood rattling. The round columns also potentially act as a diffuser, which may be a slight benefit in some rooms. I originally thought about integrating the equipment rack into it but wasn't sure if the directly transfered vibrations would effect my SACD player.
One of the potential issues I thought of with my current setup was the tweeter signal bouncing off the top of the equipment rack. I tried several tests by adding dampening material, moving the rack, etc but was able to hear no change in clarity from the LCR (it always sounded fantastic
). I ended up leaving it in the current location since it is convenient and allows me to keep all my interconnects and cables as short as possible.
If you want a more detailed picture of the stands or better instructions on how to make it, please let me know.
