In my opinion the height of the 9's is really the problem as even with a very low seating position the speakers emit the sound towards the back of your sofa....

Constructing something like a stand seems like a tough job to me as the 9's have the bass in their base and you need to construct something very solid to avoid the low frequencies being emitted to the stand....

I would go 5's in the front, 3's in the back... optical fit and you have enough bass from the 5's

Best regards

I am going to do some experimenting with the 9s I have now and see what I think of the sound. I am very intrigued by having matching speakers all around.
