I had some nice tweed grille cloth and these speakers being very, well, boxy, it seemed like a good reason to lean into the 'vintage monkey coffin' look. I mocked them up in sketchup, adding a 4" plinth that looked proportional.
I have a teenage boy who likes to use my listening room, and while he is pretty careful, his friends are likely to put a hole in my very expensive JBL woofers. So, removable grilles are mandatory.
I'd actually like to raise the speakers a bit higher to get them closer to ear level. The plinth might grow to 10-12", but it starts to look pretty chunky. In that case maybe a hardwood stand is more appropriate.
