Ditto to chess, Tom and others who've pointed out that the key factor is the distance from the floor; the type of stand, or whether there's any stand at all has nothing to do with it. Although not the total hoax that many of the audio "accessories" of that outfit are, the stands are grossly overpriced.
I've probably discussed a dozen or so times in
replies over the past couple years the significance of distance to room boundaries and the possibility of getting good results by placing bookshelf speakers directly on the floor and tilted back.
