AK'rs,
I've been living with my Infinity RS1.5s for a while now and I must say they work very well in my room, playing my music. I'm thinking of getting off the speaker merry-go-round and just living with the RS1.5 long term. That said, I currently have them sitting on plastic milk crates and that is probably not optimal. I'm going to build a pair of stands using some PVC floor drain covers and 4" PCV pipe (column) and will probably fill the stand with a mix of sand and shot. Here's a link to the floor drain that I'm considering using for the base and top plate:

So, anyone have a WAG regarding the optimal stand height for the RS1.5's? Anyone know what the height was when using the factory stands? Also, any thoughts on tilt angle? For reference, my milk crates at 11" high, no tilt, and they sound very good. My Infinity Qb's are on factory stands, and they are 10" high in the back, with a slight tilt upward in the front.
My current thoughts are to build the new stands at 10" high, with adjustable spikes that can bring them up to 11" if needed, and provide a method of putting some amount of tilt on the stand.
Any thoughts or recommendations?
Thanks,
TIC
