Really asinine question: Would you use a subwoofer as a monitor stand?
:dunce:

Spacewise, it'd suit better...

1. Not for a CRT monitor.
The LCD type if tied down so it doesn't walk off over the edge should work, at least for a while.

2. How about the subwoofer on the computer desk, perched next to it
in proper vertical orientation rather than laying on its side?

5. Put it on the floor...
So it gets the direct coupling with the floor it was designed for. If not that, then put it on a shelf in your desk, if the desk has one. That's what I do and it sounds really fine.

7. I think the fragile CCFL tube of an LCD monitor
would not be able to live with that type of vibration for very long.

6. Um...No.
Unless the subwoofer had heavy shielding against magnetic interference, I'd keep the subwoofer on the floor where it belongs, and leave the monitor as far from it as feasible.

8. Gotta chime in - NO!!! IT WILL CRACK YOUR SOLDER CONNECTIONS OVER TIME!
Edited on Mon Jan-14-08 04:14 PM by FormerRushFan
I had my subwoofer next to my stereo cabinet and my TV went as did my VCR. The service man said in both cases the solder connections went bad... I now park my subwoofers away from anything with a circuit board...
