Chashas1 Thanks for thinking of my search! There is also an older thread on pf with a different title of almost the same meaning that gave me loads of insight.
I've never heard them on stands, so I don't know what the difference is like. I've discussed stands with several people and tried to find some original ones before, but haven't yet. I almost bought a pair of wooden stands for giant mortar/pestles for grain grinding, which were just the right height and size, but people convinced me the wood might not be good sounding, so at risk of having even more junk around with nowhere to store it, i didn't buy those in the end. Anyways, I really don't think they need stands in the room they are in.
My space is limited, and because it's a tatami room we sit on the floor when seriously listening, so our ears are at just about the right height for them. The sound is so wonderful already I really wonder why I am looking for an even better amp.
