These speakers are 35 inches tall which puts the tweeter very close to ear level when seated depending on your setup. It's almost perfect for mine.
The cheapest option would be to make a stand out of blocks of wood and paint it black to match. You can buy speakers stands but they are kind of expensive and probably defeat the purpose of buying budget speakers.
The 570s definitely punch above their price class, ESPECIALLY at $199 each.
That's the reason I went with 580 even though I dislike bigger speakers in living room (580s also needed to be angled up a bit to reach ear level).
Couple of tips if you decide to purchase:
- Tilting is no substitute for physically raising the speakers. These are short!
- The center of the tweeter is about 28" from the base of the speaker.
- They are very front heavy so be careful if using around kids or larger pets.
- Feet can be individually adjusted or removed completely for a flat base.
- I'm using folding foot stools I found on Amazon. Lots of colors, sizes, and brands. They have 9", 11", 13" and beyond. Can be purchased individually or in pairs. I ended up paying around $25 for the pair of 9" and 11", and $35 for the 13". I liked the 11" the best and when set on furniture sliders (which I also recommend for insanely easy positioning and experimenting) I've got the tweeters at 38" and they sound glorious! They're right at ear level and also at the half way point on my TV. The speakers fit on the stools with very minimal overhang, but remember to remove the feet!
Whatever you decide, everyone deserves to hear/own something from the Studio 5 lineup at some point!
As you can tell even in this thread, it's not a dollar amount to tell you what is "better" or sounds good to someone.
Infinity and JBL are a perfect example, so many times you read people saying something like these punch higher or they compete with much higher priced speakers.
Another big problem with used, you have no recourse if there are issues or if you they don't work out in your home.

You don't need to raise these speakers up.
They have **adjustable feet** so you can raise the front of the speakers so the tweeters point at your ears at the main listening position.
They're compact compared to their bigger brothers in the lineup, but still very effective.
No matter what speakers you choose, I'd always recommend a subwoofer in your setup.
