I would make sure you are on axis to the tweeter as much as possible to retain the best overall balance. I suggest a wedge shaped stand, probably a couple of inches tall to accomplish this. I have done this by cutting a piece of wood to fit the size of the base of the speaker, then adding a strip on the front to build the inclined plane. If it won't freak you out to make some small holes, simply cut a piece of matching trim (check the height first!) using mitered corners and attach it on, not under the front of the cabinet using trim nails. Then place matching pieces on the side and cope the corners. If this is too awkward, skip the mitering. Just extend flat stock out beyond the edges of the front of the cabinet by the width of the stock. Then scribe the resulting angle onto the side piece and trim with a good miter saw to form a butt joint. I have used this technique and as long as the trim is well chosen, it looks great and sounds much better than firing straight ahead, especially with a carpeted floor.Dan
