Those risers were available seperately for the later Version 1; I believe they were standard on the Heresy II. See if you can get dimensions for them and make your own - that is what I did for my COrnwalls I's, to turn them into 1/2s heh.
 
My Heresy I's came with risers. Very simple. They are 12 1/4 x 13 7/8 inches square. The material (looks like birch plywood covered with walnut veneer to match the speakers) is 3/4 inch thick. The height is 1 inch with no tilt or slope to them. They have 4 holes drilled in each one if you want to screw them to the speaker. On the bottom corners are silver legs that look like oversized thumbtacks. I can add photos if anyone wants them. I have mine on stands which sounded better than the risers to me.
 
My HII's did not have them so I made mine using 3/4in Pine and tapered them from 2in in front to about 1/2in at reare then glued them to the bottom with my wife;s Hotmelt glue gun. They are firmly attached but can be removed if necessary without damaging the speaker box. Works fine took about 5 minutes. Since I refinished my HII's in Piano Gloss Black I sprayed the risers with Krylon Satin Black. The look and work great. . .

Blue Tac would work as well. . .

I actually prefer them sitting on the floor since it warms them up a bit. Originally mine came with stands that I still have but do not use. . . I was told they were original that I doubt but he could have purchased the stands at the same time thinking they were OEM. . .
