Need Suggestions For Raising Speaker Height


This is a pretty silly question but I want to know how others deal with this issue. I currently use Skylan stands for my GMA Callisto monitors. I'm in the process of obtaining new speakers but all of the ones I'm interested in are much smaller than my current speakers. In order to keep the tweeters "near" ear level, I need to either buy new stands (not happening) or raise my existing stands by at least 2-3 inches. Obviously I could stick a phone book or two under the stands but prefer to fine a more stable and visually appealing solution (WAF issue).

Any suggestions?

Rrog has your answer.Perfect answer if you are sitting at least 6 to 8 feet away from the speaker.
Cut mdf to match the size of your speaker base, glue as many pieces together that are needed... 3/4 mdf may need 4 pieces which would give you 3 inches. paint them to match. Remove the top plate of the stands (speaker base) and screw the mdf to the legs... now re-place the speaker base back on top of the mdf...
You can cover cinder blocks with an attractrive material which would work well.
I found some very inexpensive butcher blocks at Home Goods...painted them flat black and put them under my Silverline Prelude's bases. Perfect, and they have different sizes of the blocks so something should fit. I have Vibrapods under the Preludes (they sound better with these...who knew?) and little rubber feet under each block (stacked 2 per side) so they don't slip around on each other or my wood floor. I have to say...these are the most successful speaker tweaks I've ever done as they made a good thing even better, although using the Vibrapods under speakers violates some long held audio "spike 'em to the floor" convention. What can I say? I'm just so damn rebellious!
