Thiel 1.5's with sound anchor stands?

Anyone have any experience with Thiel 1.5 on Sound Anchor Stands? Using them with Classe CA100 and room not the best but cannot rebuild the room. I don't know exactly how high they would raise them but it looks to be about 12 to 14" off the floor with spikes. Was wondering what that might do to the high frequency sound, being higher than ear level. help or hurt? These can be some very aggravating speakers sometimes, with some recordings, but some are stunning. I am new to this, so forgive me if I have not posted this right.

Thanks for any help. Brett

Brett:

I have a pair of Thiel 1.5's and with bad material, they can be very revealing, however with the proper upstream electronics and software they can be wonderful.

Now with reference to your question, my main complaint towards these speakers is that they do tend to reveal a low musical profile and a small amount of height may be beneficial, but 12 to 14" may be a little extreme. However maybe someone else has tried this and may feel otherwise.

Regards,
AEW

I used to own Thiel 1.5's with Target stands. They raised them about 8"-9" off the ground. I found them to improve the bass (had spikes also) and soundstage in my room. I would recommend them to someone myself. I loved these speakers and yes, they were bright and even harsh with bad source material, but oh so great with the right up line material. With these speakers I think things like up line electronics and cables become more important.
