found a dirt cheap end table set that works perfect for holding these speakers, its 20" high with a 16" square top. Its a home essentials brand from k-mart. They are a black fake wood grain, with a shelf on the top and at the base, with grey plastic(but not terrible looking) legs. They might not be the classiest looking stands, but for 24.99, I couldn't pass it up. The hearth endup being two low for the speakers, and with these stands on top of the hearth they are actually a bit to high, but not by much, and when I do move they will be high enough to hold the speakers up at a good height from the floor. I toe my speaker is quite a bit, since they are a ways away from the tv, so having the 16" square top is nice so I can turn the speaker and it takes up most of the top of the stand. It actually looks pretty neat, only down side is nowhere to hide the speaker wire, minor detail. I tried to find a link for these, but I can't find them on the k-mart website. If anybody is looking for a cheap way to get a pair of x-cs off the ground, I would reccomend checking these out. I'm def happy with the way they look vs the amount of money I spent. But in the end, I am always more concerend about the way it sounds then the way it looks, rather save my money for a new reciever then spend in on expensive speaker stands.
