    Nice JM!!! I lke the cleanliness of that room.

    How far apart are the speakers from each other and from the back? Also, how far back do you sit and what is the size of the room?.

    The stands look shorter than mine...they look below ear level, but im sure they are ear level seeing how much you enjoy this hobby.

    I will get a picture of mine with the stand in this thread soon....keep in mine I have only a point and shoot...And Mickey has a hard time listening from his position...he needs a front row seat.

    Man...I can see you sitting there in your sweet spot sipping some good wine, and Micky looking right at you getting mad wondering why you got him over there not being able to enjoy the music....or the wine.

    My stands are 22 inches tall and the front baffles are angled about 5 degrees so the balance is very nice. The room is 12 ft at the wall where I have the speakers. The speakers are about 7 ft apart.

Paradigm doesn't list the speaker stands on their website anymore, but I believe you can still order them through Paradigm's dealers. I also saw the 30" S-series stands sold online for $150.
    I believe I bought them from Ovation Audio in Indianapolis IN. I believe they were over $200, but I was able to talk him down to about $150. I lucked out on another pair on ebay I got for $45. Mine are also sand-filled and are pretty heavy and dead.

    I bought them for the look. They are more pleasing to the eye than most other stands. Very few I've seen have the WAF as these. I've bought others and even built my own oak stands for my Klipsch Kg4s, but the Premiers are still the best in my opinion.

    Looks inviting. Mine are actually 26" and about 9 ft apart. I may bring mine in to 7 and see what it does for them. Canton recommends no toe in, but I have them at about 5 degrees as well.

    It is the front baffle that is slanted back 5 degrees. Nothing to do with toe-in.

    Definitely like the SF 22's stands better than the Sanus Euros as far as looks goes. Good choice.

    Of course if you slant your speakers your stands might be too tall as I found with my speakers when only the front baffle was slanted.
