I would recommend either the 28” version of this:

Or for even better isolation get the 24” version and add these:

These stands have a top plate that’s big enough to support the isoacoustics stands.

If you'd like some custom hardwood stands made to what ever spec, send me an email dentonwoodworkers@gmail.com

Here is a pic of some we made holding up some HMP100's

Maaann... I'm literally using a Nintendo GameCube as the stand for the left speaker and a watch box and 3DS game case for the right speaker. Sitting about 5.5" above the desk.
It's janky.. but it works! :P
I wish I had floor stands, but at the same time, my setup is at a desk, so stands would only get used a few times a week since i cant play them loud except when I'm alone at home.

I have some yoga blocks for my desk set up. Nice cheap option!

I'm digging this idea too esp for $15 most desk stands I've found online are too flimsy or 8" tall which would put me at ear height with the woofers

I use these for surround duty. Very happy with quality.
Bought pre-owned for cheap but would pay close to retail, need it be.
