They're too short, I'm 6'4" and currently using wine glass boxes as speaker stands which are 24cm tall and even they could be a bit taller. Also you may as well of gotten the Millenium DM1 if you're gonna have them that close to the back wall, even less space too and height adjustable. Height adjustment is the most important feature of a speaker stand, the tweeter needs to sit at ear level, yeah you can tilt but it doesn't fool the brain the speaker still sound below you.

Yes, I've heard, a needed improvement given how much they cost.

Thanks David. Did you do some comparative listing before and after the stands? I understand the optimal position is ear height, but I was wondering whether the Genelec's waveguide shape compensates enough for this.. and if the few inches of height makes a large difference.

Yes, there was a difference for sure. Its the same difference i get when i stand in front of my desk vs sitting in the chair. Both sound alright but with the tweeters directly in front of you the sound is more direct, focused and balanced with the woofer which is expected. I'm sure there are other subtle difference but what i mentioned is the most obvious to me.

the stand don't give you more 'desk space', but mitigate desk reflection.

Both are true, I store things below the speakers on the metal base.

what did you use to make/cut the black circles to cover the lights?

Its just electrical tape. So far after 16 months there are no signs of it coming off. Just take some electrical tape, apply it to some wax paper, trace out some small circles and cut them out. That easy.

@@DavidPhamChannel you can use the standby feature, so the speaker go to sleep and wake up according to signal, the light doesn't bother me while im using the pc but i dont want it at night before going to sleep. Have you bought anything else for the Genelec?

With 6" increase in height I think the 8030C /G Three tweeter will be roughly at ear height if sat up straight? Is this correct? How many cm /inches long is the bottom plate that sits on the desk? I have quite shallow desk with a big desk mat and the isopods are clear of the desk mat. Was thinking about getting some of those desk clamp speaker stands as an alternative.

It really depends on your desk chair as well, you might need to do some height adjustments on the chair to get the right height. The stands are 19cm deep.
