They sound great without the stands. I thought it would nice to compare the sound with stands then decide which way I prefer.
Follow Ups:
Raising them off the floor will increase the perceived vertical image height make them sound a bit bigger. Nothing dramatic but it is there.
One can always experiment with crude stands to see if they like them off the floor. Peter Walker said 'just prop them up on a stack of beer crates or what have you.'
I can live with them either way on the floor or on the stands.
Enjoy!
I have them about 12" off the floor. I like the middle of the panel at ear level. I completely agree with what Kentaja said about the image height plus the image sounds bigger. The panels seem more open sounding with the increase in height off the floor.
I have a pair of home-built stands the same height as the Stand and Deliver jobbers. Since I listen in modified near-field, when on the stands the 63s are a little high for my taste. I certainly hear nothing positive compared to on the floor.
Good- I look forward to your findings...-
