I've decided to get a set of speaker stands for my Allison IVs; my current
solution -- a few card boxes -- is losing its esthetic appeal.  (Besides,
maintenance is hard; I no longer hang around computer centers that stock
card boxes.....)  The problem is this:  the Allison IVs have upward-pointing
woofers, which reflect sound off the wall behind the speaker.  Most speaker
stands I've seen are designed to tilt the speaker upward, which in turn would
affect the way the woofers interact with the wall.  Is this effect likely
to be significant?
