I am considering getting the new QS stands for my QS8s. I currently have my QS8s balanced on bricks on top of CD towers. The bricks raise the downward drivers about 4 inches above the top of the towers. I thought this would be safe for the drivers but figure I'm messing with the design intent by redirecting the driver horizontally almost immediately. I figure the new stands would all the speakers to work as designed and look a whole lot better. BUT - my question: the stands are only 38 inches tall. This puts the speakers exactly at ear level which according to most of what I'm reading is a foot or two too low. Any thoughts? Has anybody used the stands and found the height to be good or bad?

Thanks everyone!
