I want to get the QS8, and place them on my standard 30" Speaker stands. Is that possible? or do I need some special stands for them? I already checked the Axiom's stands for them, and too rich for my blood :-)

Any advice for these speakers and stands?

TIA

You will need some kind of special stands because the QS8s have a woofer on the bottom of the speaker. Most people just hang 'em on the walls with the included T-bracket -- don't suppose that is an option for you ?
