I should think that you would want them on some type of speaker stand so that they would be at ear level when you are sitting in a chair. You could pick up some inexpensive stands used on Audiogon or purchase new/used at a store in your location. (stands with spikes).
Speaker Stands?
Ok so Im moving my speakers from my house and their nice comfy spots on old speakerstands to my apartment at school. I dont get to take the speaker stands because they are my dads and he is going to put his speakers back on them(he bought me JM Lab speakers for christmas). So what should I put my speakers on? The floor is wood and floating with carpet over it. And the room size is about 10X14 but not all of it is useable space. The speakers are JM Lab 906. What should I put the speakers on? Get stands with spikes or should i put them on hockey pucks or what?

Speakers, particulary very good ones, deserve the best quality stands you can handle. This can come with a steep price, but is very well worth it. Your stands are a fundemental extension of your speaker, and should be directly coupled to your floor. Many speaker companies, (Revel for one) to enhance the $$ attraction of their speakers, go real cheap on the stands. My M20s went to a new sonic place after sitting atop my Sitrum Platform system. I've since sold my M20s, but my stands remain. You certainly don't have to spend this much, but if you're inclined?--you won't go wrong with these babies. I did a review way back on these stands. fasten your seatbelt, there is more to come on speaker stand suggestions. peace, warren |
