Customized my Athenas (AS-B1, AS-B2) for better look in living room. If I leave them stacked they're about 30" tall. Any suggestions on a sturdy shorter stand? DIY stand?

Eyeing my RTi8's now. Warranties are for sissies!
:D

    Check your lips at the door woman. Shake your hips like battleships. Yeah, all the white girls trip when I sing at Sunday service.

    The Athena's look cool.

    I would only modify the RTi8's if you have the Black Oak finish. The Cherry is just too gorgeous to touch IMHO.
