Thanks for all the suggestions, guys. This is one more reason why I love Axiom--the helpful tips from like-minded enthusiasts. I've been doing a lot of thinking and reading about boundary effects and have decided to go with a stand. I know I can build one, but the FMS 160 isn't all that expensive, IMHO. My VP150 and stand are 21.5 inches high, so if I want the same height, I'd need to order a 10.5 inch FMS 160. Although I may go about an inch shorter because of the thick carpet and underlay we'll be adding, and I'll probably add a bit of an upward tilt by leaving off the stand's rear feet. It'll be good timing as I need to order 150 feet of Axiom bulk speaker wire next week.
