I know it sounds simplistic, but the stands are about as tall as they can be without either falling over or needing impractically large/heavy bases.

I think distance from your ears is also a factor... when you have stands the QS8s tend to be closer to your ears, so you can get the same angle without being quite so high. Three feet is still a bit low even taking that into account, of course.

BTW I own and use the QS8 stands, and am real happy with them.
