I respect what Bobby says re: the Osiris; but my Skylan 26-inchers do a great job. $200 delivered.

I was fortunate enough to acquire a pair of Osiris stands for my TSMs -- they work incredibly well. They are very well constructed, good-looking stands & are correct height for the TSMs. You can make minor adjustments in stand height by changing height of floor spikes as they screw into the stand base. The Osiris stands consist of two hollow metal tubes that you really should fill with a dampening material -- I used play sand from Lowes; some recommend lead shot. I think either works well. If you can't find Osiris stands (remember that they are no longer made), I think the Target or Atlantis stands are pretty good. I've also wondered about Sound Anchors - you can custom order these according to their website. They seem well made and have a very good reputation. Unfortunately I've never seen any posts mentioning their use with Merlins.

look for a used pair of osiris stands or target.
solid, so you can fill with sand or buckshot and spiked to the floor. no rubber tabs or spikes on the plynth side supporting the speaker.
in your seating position, measure the height of your ear off the floor and then subtract 10 inches and that is the height of the stand you require.
