HDBRbuilder, my hero. First he gets me to get some Heresy's. Then a Harman Kardon HK430. And now he has found the solution to my Heresy stand delima.
Here I present to you HDBR's Heresy Stand.
[Here] is a sketch of how the cheapo, but strong stands I built for my Heresys go together.
The construction is pretty simple. As for the top panel, in your case you COULD remove the risers from your Heresys, then using the risers as drilling templates, screw the top panel to the bottom of your Heresys, from underneath that panel. This would secure the speaker to the stand....or you could just make a raised lip around it that holds the speaker snugly within its Inner perimeter...lots of options here.
As for the bottom panel, there are many options:
1. Just use a panel with some rubber feet or spikes or whatever attached to its bottom.
2. Make that bottom panel like a box, so that you can fill it with sand...etc...in order to make it less likely to ever get tipped over, and provide better mass for the stands.
One important note here: I did NOT provide the dimensions for the upper and lower panels, since the builder can get those measurements himself. The parts
I GAVE dimensions for can be varied to suit your needs, The upright blocks of the the center assembly are only 3/4" X 3/4" in cross-section solid pine on my stands(which only have a total height of around 10.5"), but I would recommend using thicker stock for those verticals if you intend to make your stands taller than that.
The horizontal pieces used are 3/4" plywood on mine, glued and stapled to the uprights, and the ones that make contact with the base and the upper panel are glued and nailed to it...how you assemble yours is up to you...as are the materials you choose to use...these can be built as basic or fancy as you want!!
One other thing...if you go for the dimensions I gave for the horizontal pieces, be advised that you can increase the height of these stands by additional 6" increments by adding two more horizontal pieces to each side as you increase the height(and, of course increasing the height of the vertical uprights by the same 6" increments)....until you reach the total height you need, ie., from the 10.5" of mine as shown in the pic, to 16.5", then to 22.5"...and so on. But I highly recommend, that if you build these OVER the height of MINE, you make the base panel a sand-filled box!...in addition to securing the speaker bottoms to the upper panel in some way!
I have found that the "airiness" of this design allows for a pretty good amount of forward projection of reflected bass, etc, under the speakers when using these stands with Heresys in close proximity to a corner or wall. After I built mine at the plant that day, and a few more pairs of em for some of the gals there, numerous other Heresy owners at the plant built identical ones for themselves...so, they must work out ok...mine sure did!
Hope this gives you some ideas!
