I have 2 QS4s. I do not want to hook them on my living room wall. Otherwise, I will have disagreement with my wife. On the other hand, the axiom stands for QS4 are too expensive. Is there any alternative way or source to have a stand?

I never got around to trying this, but I always figured one could make good cheap stands for QS speakers with a few pieces of plywood :
Crude model :
- vertical piece about 30" tall and the width of the qs
- horizontal piece about the same width and maybe a foot long
- diagonal piece
- a few short pieces of 2x2
- three or four rubber feet
- the 'T' bracket that comes with the QS
Stand would be a basic L shape with the short piece running forward from the bottom of the long piece forming a foot. Two short pieces of 2x2 along the joint to connect them, with the diagonal plywood piece and a couple more 2x2 pieces to give the joint some rigidity.
Elegant version :
- same idea, but replace the vertical piece with a couple of edge-on 1x2s (something strong - oak/maple) and a cross-piece at the top to mount the T-bracket
- either diagonal 1x2s for bracing or plywood squares to keep the verticals lined up
Should be an easy afternoon hobby thing... draw it up carefully and Home Depot etc.. will do all the cutting...

OK, thank you for all nice explanation.
Actually, I am not a skillfull person for such kind of things, but I will try it. (I prefer an "of the shelf" one):)

>>I prefer an "off the shelf" one
Ahh, then I have the perfect answer for you. Show your wife the following picture, suggest that this approach on a couple of handy shelves would work well...
... then go get the proper QS4 stands with full approval from your family

If at all possible, I would recommend getting the stands from Axiom. They may be expensive but they are built perfectly for the speakers and look great. I love them. They do have a unique look and I always get comments on them from friends.
Mounting on the wall was never a consideration for me and just ordered the stands when I ordered the speakers.

For what it's worth, I also ordered the Axiom stands about a week ago and hope to get rid of the soup cans this weekend.
