Physics tells us nothing of the kind. Speaker stands do not convert
vibration into heat at all. This is nonsense. Naturally, you want a stand
that can support the speaker weight and that isn't likely to tip over.
Beyond elevating the speaker to ear level there is nothing else significant
about speaker stands. I would suggest you ask the same question over on
rec.audio.tech and mention the alleged vibratin to heat problem and see what
kind of response you get.

Make the stand with a base that is just slightly smaller than the bottom of
the speaker. You can use wood or I've seen some DIY stands made form
plastic pipe filled with sand for stability.
