I do not actually like the original stands for the Beovox MS 150. They are unsteady, gives an impression of poor quality and is difficult to clean up around.Instead, I intend to assemble 22 cm long aluminum legs, four on each speaker.In order to starch my own view I made in Paint a simple picture that approximately shows what I intend.What do you think?

Easier and cheaper to use iron box section I would imagine.
How are you planning to attach legs ?
I would make with 3 legs, 2 front and one back in the middle adjustable to adjust tilt. The main weight is on the front of the speaker.
Collecting Vintage B&O is not a hobby, its a lifestyle.
Agree with Soren. 3 leg 'milkstool' will always sit better than 4 legs on an uneven floor. Yesterday when I looked, I didn't take to the 4 legs but today it's grown on me a bit more.
Let us know what you end up with (with pictures of course).

Agree too....
And there is a solution you can buy immediately:

No, three legs are eliminated, especially of aesthetic reasons. I do not use the speakers outdoors or in a barns so normal adjusting will equal normal irregularities.
Ikea:s legs are a possibility but primarily I want to have square ones instead for round ones. There is yet another low price chain (the one that owns a Spitfire as well as a Mustang) that has a candidate in their assortment but my local shop has sold out and will refill first in January.

You need square ones?:

Now I have found legs made of square profiles. I bought these at Bauhaus, just outside Örebro, in the local Temple of Mammon. They look almost as I wanted, except for the finish that instead of aluminum is chrome.
I fitted 4 legs under each speaker, each and one with 4 screws. The result is an appearance I like, more steady speakers, measures that facilitate cleaning - and more things (the original stands) in the cellar!
Looks good! I think the original stand would look great in chrome too!
