Is using pvc pipe as the legs for a speaker stand a good idea?

I have to make speaker stands for my two speakers, the base of the speakers are 5 by 8 inches and weigh 8 pounds and I need to raise them 17 inches from the table. I was thinking of cutting 1 inch thick wood for the base of the speakers and then getting some pvc pipe and cutting that 17 inches and using those as the legs. I was thinking 4 but maybe 3 legs would be fine, would pvc pipe hold about 8 pounds?

Is this a good idea? Just not sure how I would attach the pvc pipes to the wooden base?

Any other ideas that might be better than this?
