I have a pair of Paradigm 9S speakers that sound great, but I have felt like something was lacking in them for the entire year I’ve owned them. Until about 30 minutes ago they were on the floor with my original speakers (Klipsch RB-600) sitting on top because I have no other space to store speakers.

After watching the video above I took the 5 minutes I needed to put the RB-600 on the floor to use as ghetto stands to see if it makes the 9S sound different.

Holy shit, like I have a new speaker that sounds 50% better than the old speaker. Simply raising them up made a massive difference in how they sound in the room and in the main listening position.

Now I’ll have to build some real stands at some point.
