I use the Mpleshade Gibraltar solid maple stand ,it's only about a foot high,more or less. It will give you incredable bass response without upsetting the overall balance. Soundstage is wide/deep and center image is the same as a conventional stand.Hard to believe i know,but I've tried both and the music just sounded fuller with the mapleshades. check out the theory behind the stands and some of his other tweeks at mapleshade records web site.
