Putting floorstanding speakers on stands...

Stands are made for many floorstanders. I have Hales Rev 3s and made my own (very cheap trick) I used four hockey puks on top of which I laid a square foot cement stepping stone which is about two inches thick. Then the Hales sit on top with their spikes in the cement. They were raised about three inches and something magical happened to the low end response. Hey give it a try and you won't invest over $20.

One vote for yes and the bass sounded and felt better too. It's all about experimenting with your toys to get a sound you like. No two persons ears hear the same.

If you raise the speakers off the ground then you may get better or worse bass (usually less). Another approach is to tilt the speaker back, so that it fires at your ears, but the distance between the LF driver and the floor is maintained, which will help keep the bass reinforcement the same.

I agree with the above posts, although I have had my success with Sound Anchor stands, first their standard stand for B&W Matrix 803's, then custom cradle stands I had made for my Alon V's. The stands raise the speakers a bit, offer adjustability in the tilt of the speaker by adjusting the spikes, and add mass loading when the heavy stands are coupled to the bottom of the speaker. IMHO the bass is much cleaner and better overall. I may have to try spiking the stands into some hockey pucks thanks to woodman!!
