Get a couple of nice 50mm thick granite pavings as close to the size of
the
stand or speaker bases as you can (or cut to size with an angle grinder
like
I did for my racks - see
http://www.apah69.dsl.pipex.com/keit...but/debut2.jpg for a fairly poor
pic, to get an idea), rub the sharp edges off (with a brick or summat or
the
angle grinder if you have the skill), dust 'em off completely and paint
them
all over with black vinyl* emulsion paint. (Dries in 20 mins if the slabs
are not wet.) Apply 2 coats for that 'lasting finish'.......
