Amp Stands--- How high? ----Sandbox??

I just bought new (2me)monos,tubed jobs ( CJ8's.) In the first place my old stands are to small. The old stands are the Solidsteels. They are 7 and 1/2 in. high. (Platform t carpet) The price on some stands can get pretty high,esp. when you need about 20x20,in size. Ok,I just don't know. Is "how high" important? Then we get to a budget possibility. Being slightly handy,I could make some of those "bright Star" clones. Are they a decent alternative,and then back to "how high"? If it's not detrimental I would like to go "lower". Thank for any help,guys.

If you want to go cheap, pick up some one inch MDF and cut to size then add three or four cones, pick some granite paint up and paint. I use to use the sand boxes
and I felt they dulled the sound of my system! so I use the lovan stands with maple patforms, iso blocks and triple point cones and they work much better than the sand boxes! Happy Listening!
