Cheers Steve.Looking at how cheap 10mm sheet is on the bay it would be worth giving this a go.There's some in black too.Could be nice...

I wonder if there would be any mileage in glueing two sheets together for each shelf,or perhaps with another material inbetween.
Well, the 5mm works absolute wonders with the Beresford - even when listening through headphones. I'll add to this later, but I will say that for a grand total of £3.50 (sheet + delivery) there's a lot to be said for this acrylic lark. I used spikes that I have knocking about spare, some 6mm nuts and washers, two squash balls sliced in twain and a 12 by 12 slab-o-slate to rest the whole caboodle on.
More to follow.
Oh, the chap I got the acrylic from said that a 10mm sheet approximately 450mm x 300mm would be about £12.

I don't think there is any mileage in laminating acrylic with any other material. What makes acrylic work so well, I believe, is the way it dissipates energy very quickly across its surface. For some reason the optimal thickness would be around 10mm but further experimentation may contradict this particular hypothesis.
It was just a thought,prompted by how the many layers in a Slatedeck plinth give a CLD effect.I wondered if the same could be done with acrylic and other materials.

Any chance of any pictures of this stroke of genius?
