Hmmmm... the theory is valid, however I'd think M80's on some of those metal stands would look rather strange. What might look good would be stands made to look like an extention of the speaker, so that when screwed into the bottom of the M80, it looked like a taller version of the M60. I've always liked the way the M60 looks actually, and if they made some 'bottoms' that matched the same finish and everything, I'd probably look into buying something like that. The seam might look a bit distracting though, so perhaps if it flaired out a bit from the bottom of the speaker to the floor it would look more natural... I dunno, just brain storming a bit.

I found that tilting the front of the speaker up just slightly (I put two spacers under the front feet, no spacers under the back feet) gave me better performance. Now the top tweeter is firing just above my head while the bottom tweeter is directed right at ear level. Before the top tweet was at ear level while the bottom tweet fired at my chin.

I'd be very worried about tippy-ness with any stand of the same width under the M80s. They're already a touch precarious.

Just hang them from the ceiling.
Height and wobble problem... solved.
Paying for divorce lawyer problem... begins.

Maybe something like the stand built into the Revel Salon2s? http://www.revelspeakers.com/images/gallery/salon2_421.jpg It actually looks to make the speaker more stable. (When I brought these speakers up before, someone complained that the stand is not removable. It's due to the fact that the speaker is bottom-ported. The stand is part of the over-all design.)

My speakers got shipped today! And this past weekend I was able to rip out walls run wires to get my media niche ready and mount my tv. My media niche should be done by this weekend! Will post pictures when it's all done.

Can't wait!

Sounds exciting!

Got my speakers today! Unfortunately media niche isn't in place yet but hopefully I get it done by today.

sweet! What finish did you get?

That's a lovely sight, isn't it?
