For the Stage, Premium, and Pro 4 PI's, they're strange in size in that they're too small to simply place them on the floor, but too large for most speaker stands or shelving. Where are people placing these PI's so that you don't have to sit on the floor to listen to them? Anyone simply tipping them up?

Here are two placements that work very well:1. On stands, a foot or so off the ground. Back against the rear wall, eight feet or more from side walls. Point them straight into the room. 2. Within two feet from corners, two to three feet from the ground or ceiling. Angle them in towards the center of the room.

In my room, I actually got the soundstage from a pair of Studio 2 Pi's to lift up considerably just by tipping them back about an inch and a half in the front. Still not ideal but the bass is enhanced with the low placement. My Theater 4's sound best tipped back some as well but the height of the image remains the same either way.
I'd try making simple four-sided risers from as heavy a plywood as you can find; maybe 2 layers of 3/4"BB. Cinderblocks may be a cheap way to experiment with height; Home Despot sells various sizes.G.

I know what that's like. I was doing some work on my cabinets a couple of weeks ago (5ft^3, 3/4 MDF all around, double front baffle, bracing, etc.) and it's getting to the point where I can't lift it off the ground by myself anymore, let along moving it. And it's only going to get heavier as I add more to it.
