Any Talon Khite owners out there

So I bought a pair of Talon Khites not too long ago just to see how they sound. I had heard a pair of Talon Khorus at a NYC show years ago and I thought they sounded pretty good from my old recollection. I don't have the manual for them and don't see where I can find one online, so I don't know what kind of stands they should be put on. I seeking advice about these speakers from any Talon owners out there. Thanks!

I used my Khites on Target stands, like these https://www.musicdirect.com/furniture/target-mr-series-speaker-stands-pr

I lead-filled the stands so they weighed around 100 lbs a side, then used Audiopoints between stand and speaker, spiked into the underside.

I didn't think the Khites were that bad. I lived with em for a couple years or more. They are dark sounding so I wouldn't use them with tubes, but they worked well with SS amps.

I had my Khites on stands similar to rooze and also lead filled.  I liked my Khites (my first system) and my daughter loves them (her first system).  With a good amp and front end they sounded fine from the sweet spot.
