Mattman:
I once owned the previous Castle model (Isis) and have had the Richmonds in home as well.
Both are @ their best on sturdy "one piece" 28" stands. However, you can also make good use of your current stands by elevating the front of them a fraction of an inch (just change the firing angle slightly depending on the room length and your average listening distance).
The Richmonds are wonderful speakers for small/small-medium room use, IMO.
