Picked up some squat Target stands locally, sand filled..
Sat my AP2's on top, I can't really believe the difference! they're now sat at the right height off the floor (about a foot as apposed to 2 foot I had on the Atacama Stands), and i think the solid fill helps not only bass response but the overall sound...
Next...B&Q for some stone slabs!!

So why bang them on stone slabs ? they will no longer be at right height and might not sound as good. If it sounds good leave it alone.

Fair comment, but the extra inch or so it'll rise up, less if I use the chopping boards from tesco, does it not further bass control with a solid base?

Well if the stands are mass loaded and you have decent spikes I doubt they are needed, too much tweaking spoils the good work your reportingFair comment, but the extra inch or so it'll rise up, less if I use the chopping boards from tesco, does it not further bass control with a solid base?

Indeed, see the thread on value for money. You could almost buy a copy of a hi-fi comic for that sort of money!
