How to raise surround/rear bookshelf speakers 3 - 6"? (1 Viewer)

I came up with a couple of ways. The challenge, is to make it as acoustically transparent as possible.

The best way I could think of, was to use some of those metal mesh "in/out" baskets (upside down) from an office supply store. A ream or 2 of paper would work, as well as simply books as thick as the additional height.

But HTF-ers are pretty creative. Any other ideas?

Speaker stands???

I only need a 3-6" increase in height. Don't think they make stands that small.

If you are handy, you can do it with a couple of 1 x 4s and a saw.

Get a couple of NYC Yellow pages.

Cool...

Actually, I have a solution I'm probably going to use: get new speakers that are taller, have the tweeters positioned higher. (Deeper bass extension too.)
