I went trough the search, looking for an advise on how to raise my speakers.
I need to raise them 12cm (4,7") so they are "Tweeter in ear height" as recommended by the manufacturer, Just thinking if there are any Dont do's in raising them. Is wood good/bad ? are bricks better/worse?
Thanks for all input

mass will do the trick. You can lift your stand and monitors together by putting them on a bricks or alike. Or make new stands out of concrete for example

actually I moved the speakers on my desk, so I'm just raising them off the desk itself

That works
But putting them on stands BEHIND the desk might even improve all

make some stands for them that way there will be less bass coupling to the desk
here is an example of my desk system
a set of measurements wont tell you if you have a good speaker but it will tel you the difference between a good and a great speaker

had them made for the aplication
these are metal and sand filed but you can use wood just let the speakers breath underneth
