Speaker Stands - advice needed

[StevieC]

For the last few years I've been using a pair of Atacama speaker stands which I was expecting to last a lifetime, which under normal circumstances they probably would. However, a problem has arisen.
Due to some severe back problems (which are getting progressively worse) I have got to the point where I'm going to have to buy an orthopaedic chair. This is going to leave me sitting about 6 inches higher up than I was previously. It therefore follows that my speakers will need to be 6 inches higher for optimum results.
Am I going to have to buy another pair of stands (I seem to remember they weren't exactly cheap) or is there any other sensible alternative?
Thank you for your time, Steve.

You could always raise the stands,perhaps spikes ontop of thick granite tiles?

...or you could try it out first and see how it sounds.

If you have a suspended wooden floor, Granite is a good idea anyway.

What are your speakers?........some "beam" the treble more than others.

Rather than raise the stands as suggested it will be cheaper / easier to put a 6" block of wood between speaker and stand.
