I can probably use them as a starting point and check if someone here can fabricate them for me.

A related question: should the stands be designed such that there is no gap between the bottom of the speaker panel and the stand itself, i.e. should the panel rest on some kind of rectangular wood piece? The reason I ask is because of your comments on the need to reduce vibrations.
Hey K,

Feanors stands are nice and easy. Here are a few more with the 1st one being the easiest because you should be able to buy the parts at a hardware store since they are pretty common:

The key is to get the MIDDLE of the panel to be at ear height.

There will be some trade off as you raise them you may lose a bit of bass which you could get back if you had a stand that had a solid base around the speakers, kind of like the floor just raised...like if your stand had a cutting board the maggies sat on.

You may not be bothered by this as the imaging and sound will be better in most cases.

HTH.
