I have sweet pair of Fraziers that need to be up about 10" or so from the ground and have a tilt back of some degree. THey are about the size of the old large advent loudspeakers. Speakers are 14" wide x 12" deep x 26" tall. I am having a tough time finding a product that is not on a stinkin pole 3' up in air for tiny monitors. Any suggestions? zip on ebay or amazon that I can see.

I'm not into tilting. IME getting the tweeters at ear height when seated is all that's necessary. Most of the speakers that I like sound better when you are on axis to the tweeters. Tilting speakers goes against that.

How about these?

Or these?

There are plenty of stands for larger bookshelf speakers. Just look around.
 
Guess I must have broken a rule by linking to a business because my post disappeared. :dunno:

Do a search for ADS speaker stands.
 
I really need to get them up 10" and do need the tilt as they will still be too low. Cant go higher than the 10" or so .. limited space issue.

Best (easiest) thing is to make them yourself or have them made for you. You can waste more time and money looking around for exactly what you want.

These are Ebay specials, and are supposedly solid oak. I just searched 'solid oak speaker stand' and several different styles came up. 20181123_192731.jpg20181123_192712.jpg.
 
Check out stores like Ross, TJ Maxx, Walmart etc. for small end tables. Be careful of tilting stands on carpet so they don't fall over.
 
Building a set like in the second picture that Joe posted wouldn't be too hard.
Decide on a base size that would be a solid footing for the speakers.
Decide on the size of the top to allow the speaker to fit comfortably
Decide on total height and cut a few risers to make the speakers that height, angled on the top end to allow some tilt. But the risers would need to be square on the platforms unless you get into some fancy angled cuts.
Bolt em together with appropriate hardware for the weight involved.

Plateau speaker stands were made this way. Easy to duplicate.

Milk crates and cinder blocks are about the correct height. Maybe decorative glass or concrete blocks.

Mine are currently sitting on milk crates and on soda crates (which are shorter). Very "Retro" in my basement! I am thinking about concrete blocks and 2x8's for the receivers/turntables. At least until I get to build my dedicated listening room. Then I will need to go a little fancier. :)
