Same speakers as yours, just with that really sexy TD12S. Night and day there, you might spring for a set of upgraded woofers if you can.
As for stands, I usually don't put them on stands unless I'm running subs. This prevents floor bounce and gives a smidge more boundary reinforcement. But if you're running subs, floor bounce is mitigated, after all, it's really one of the room modes that the multisub arrangement addresses.
The stands I'm using are 12" tall and have a 3° tilt. This puts the center of the forward lobe right at ear level when sitting in a chair about 5-8 feet back. Not that it matters, since you have about a 50° arc of clean forward lobe in the vertical, plenty of pattern height where the sound is good. But the 3° tilt looks good too.
