Need Suggestions For Raising Speaker Height

This is a pretty silly question but I want to know how others deal with this issue. I currently use Skylan stands for my GMA Callisto monitors. I'm in the process of obtaining new speakers but all of the ones I'm interested in are much smaller than my current speakers. In order to keep the tweeters "near" ear level, I need to either buy new stands (not happening) or raise my existing stands by at least 2-3 inches. Obviously I could stick a phone book or two under the stands but prefer to fine a more stable and visually appealing solution (WAF issue).

Any suggestions?

Not sure what your speakers and stands look like, size, etc. so this might not work. But I raised my floorstanders up a few inches by going to Home Depot and getting a trailer block (or something like that). It's a $5 block of concrete approximately 14" x 14" x 3" that I painted black. They looked fine in my dedicated room, not sure how you (or your wife) would like to have them in the Living Room, or how they'd work with your flooring. But after painting they really didn't look bad, didn't look like concrete blocks.
Just a thought
