    I built some black stands for mine, not the most beautiful pieces of furniture in the world but gets the job done just fine.

    I found the Sanus Ultimate stands to be the best match. The stand posts are flat black while the bases are dark gray, but close enough. The triangular shaped base and excellent quality of the stands make them a no brainer. Yeah, they're not cheap, but quality never is.

    F1, do you feel that the stands are tall enough? (height wise).

    I was under the impression a lot of recommendations for height were 1-2 ft. above ear level.
    Polk Fronts: RTi A7's
    Polk Center: CSi A6
    Polk Surrounds: FXi A6's
    Polk Rear Surround: RTi4
    Sub: HSU VTF-3 (MK1)
    AVR: Yamaha RX-A2010
    B&K Reference 200.7
    TV: Sharp LC-70LE847U
    Oppo BDP-103

    On their 30" stands with 1" spikes the tweeter is at 42". On their 34" stands it would be at 46", which is plenty high, IMO. At 1 or 2 feet above ear level it doesn't sound right to my ears.
