Monitor stands

What's Hot
Just invested in a pair of KRK Rokit 5 monitors, they sound brilliant but I need to raise the height of them by about 6 inches or so. 

Any decent but affordable stands I should consider?

    Mini desk stands?
    Look at Isoacoustic.

    Stands ought to be solid so that they do not shake (even minutely) nor pick up and transmit bass from the speakers. For 6 inches I'd find a spare brick or two or a small concrete block. Add some sorbothane hemispheres between the stands and the Rokits and you will be all set.

    Big fan of sorbothane, I have four isolated layers of different density damping my turntable.  

    I did what Whistler said above, my daughter painted the bricks gold (spray can), looked quite funky and fun!

    if you want proper floor stands, I have a few spare sets of Attacama stands sat in the garage doing nothing.  I have Nexus 5i stands, and proper welded steel Attacama stands. 

    These Sorbothane anti vibration pads are popular with fellow Hifi buffs.
