Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Advice from Axiom Owners AudioByte stands?

I'm liking the sound more with the tweeters closer to ear level. Currently, my left speaker is sitting on top of the AudioByte amplifier, and the right speaker is on a book and a 50-pack spindle of CD-Rs. I'm looking for clever ideas for elevating the AudioBytes so it looks decent and serves a purpose. I was looking at some rectangular wall-hanging media shelves at Target. They would just be sitting on the desk, of course, not mounted on the wall, but they seemed like the right height, and I could store DVDs right there. Unfortunately, they might look lame for a while considering I only have one piece of software in a DVD case (Windows Vista Ultimate), and only old software I don't use anymore in CD cases.

Anyone have any other ideas?

Have you thought of making something? Time for a little DIY project!

I thought of it briefly. I'm really not handy at all. Maybe my dad would have an idea for what to make and how to go about it.

I don't have my 'bytes handy right now, but don't they have a mounting screw or socket of some sort? I'd have a look at very small tripods and the like.

Charles, roughly how tall do you need the stands to be?

I'd say roughly 8" would put them at ear level, but even 6" would probably be fine. I mean, some days I slouch more than others.

Ken, I don't see anything on them to aid in mounting. They have flat bottoms.

What about on the back? I suppose that would kind of knock out tripods as a possibility, but I'm remembering some kind of allen (Alan? ) screw back there.

Just enough to get the song stuck in my head.

Yes, there's a screw on the top of the back. Yes, an Allen. What would that mount to?

presumably a vertical piece of metal with a hole innit!
