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.

It may be small, but it's fierce! Here's my FMS 160 which just arrived today. It's a very nice stand and I'm glad I bought one. In this image I've just connect the VP160 to my 3.0 set-up just to test the speaker. What a nice sound. Obviously it has a much larger prescience than my VP100 here. Can't wait to hear it in my home theatre in a few weeks. Here's a comparison shot. And here's how the new speaker fits in with my screen. It's more or less in the same place as the VP150 was.

Nothing like a custom fit, good choice.
