I set mine up in my old office (MMGs) and sound was significantly improved (seated position) when I raised them up about 12 inches and set them pretty much vertical. A "milk carton" with some nice fabric draped over it makes a decent looking stand. You could also play around with solid hollow stands to see what it does for sound (I don't think the plastic open web milk cartons had much impact, other than height, on sound).
Mine were along the long wall, about 5 feet from the back wall, and the depth effect on soundstage was impressive. Sadly, at home I cannot get them sounding their best in my (our) living room.
