Need speakers that can rock with just one watt? You found da place.

DIY risers/stands for my Klipsch Forte's




I have determined that in my listening room with my system (I'm getting the clarifications out of the way first ;), the Forte's sound better at 8" off my carpet on concrete floor. I also figured the best way to support the Fortes is to support them at the four corners of the speaker. I figured what the heck! and decided to design and fabricate new stands made from solid steel square and round bar. The risers are 1" square and the cross members are 3/4" solid round bar. I've tapped the bottoms of each 1" square riser with a 1/4-20 tap so I can use spikes.

Has anyone else found better performance with their Klipsch higher off the floor than the OEM riser achieves? Comments and suggestions welcome.
