I'm looking for something solid to sit my speakers on to raise the height of the tweeters to ear level. It needs to be dense as it will be placed on carpet and will have 40-50kg of weight bearing down on it through 4 spikes. The only block I can find that will give me the desired height without having to stack multiple bricks/blocks is this aerated foundation block: www.wickes.co.uk/foundation-block-44x215x30cm/invt/213639/
I have to concerns with this product however. The first is what effect an aerated block will have on the sound, and the second is whether the block will be strong enough to cope with the downforce applied by the spikes given that it is aerated and not solid. I'm thinking the latter problem could be solved by using 'spike shoes' on the blocks, but am still concerned about whether an aerated block is suitable for audio. Any thoughts?
