Well, I don't know about a stand. It would have to be one mighty stand. I thought about putting "tip toes" under my Theater 4s, but I ended up just putting a strip of 3/4" mdf under the front baffle to prop it up and aim it a little more at ear level. Someone had posted this idea a couple weeks back, and it ended up making a notable difference, at least for me. Of course, that may just be the room. Kevin

I built my Theater 4's with a ring of 3/4" plywood recessed around the base which raises the speakers about 1 1/2". Even so, I get best sound with the speaker propped up about an additional 3/4" in front. My guess would be that about a 3" total riser (horizontal) might be good for my listening room and chair. You can experiment by piling books or strips of wood underneath. G.

Well, I'm contemplating taking the "pi plunge". I've been thinking about the 3pi Theater. I thought I'd read some posts that said the builder could alter the cabinet shape without a negative impact on the sound, so long as the same volume was kept. With that in mind, and the fact that the 3pi is (as I recall) 30" tall, I could make it 36" or 38" and just change the other dimensions, right? That would make the speaker a bit less bulky looking (short and squat) and bring it to the height that's being discussed here without a riser. What do you all think?
