Need Suggestions For Raising Speaker Height

There is no reason to raise your speakers. All you need to do is tilt them back. You can accurately do this by using a drafting T and a laser. With the long end of the T pointed at your listening position tilt the speaker back until the laser is at ear level. Raising the speaker will only distance the speaker even farther from a critical room boundery.

Get a couple of hardwood butcher block cutting boards that are just a little bigger than the base of your speaker stand. Add spike kits to them to pierce the carpet if you need it. On bare floor put Vibrapods under the wood slabs. You can get butcher block cutting boards in thicknesses from 1" to nearly 4". I have a 3-1/2" thick behemoth under my turntable.

Oh, and if you do it right, it'll make your speakers sound better too. A maple butcher block cutting board has just the right density to drain vibration and keep clarity without adding midrange glare as you might with granite. If you shop at Overstock.com you'll also save a lot of money over most alternatives. I got my butcher block there for about $89, a fraction of what a Mapleshade or other platform would cost.

Rrog has your answer.Perfect answer if you are sitting at least 6 to 8 feet away from the speaker.

Lower your chair. Saw the legs off till you get the right height.

Cut mdf to match the size of your speaker base, glue as many pieces together that are needed... 3/4 mdf may need 4 pieces which would give you 3 inches. paint them to match. Remove the top plate of the stands (speaker base) and screw the mdf to the legs... now re-place the speaker base back on top of the mdf...
