Just came up with a design for stands for my front stage. They will echo the curvature of the PE cabinets, and should provide to be very sturdy and functional. The mains will work out to a 26" finished height, and the center will work out to a 11" height to stay below my PJ screen.
Construction is straight forward, 3/4" Plywood (Sign Grade, VERY Dense) for the top and bottom plates, 3" Sch40 PVC for the front pillar (fillable), 1.5" Sch40 PVC for the rear pillar (for concealed wiring). They will sit in 1/4" recessed pockets for stability, with the recesses routed out for only the thickness of the PVC, leaving the center of the area non-recessed. There will be 1/2" deep pockets (1/2" diameter) on center of those holes on the top of the top plate and the bottom of the bottom plate to allow for fixing with threaded rods, washers and nuts. The edges of the top and bottom blates will be finished with a 1/2" roundover, instead of the 45 degree cuts shown here. All will be painted black, and I plan on using these black chrome cone feet from Madisound. (

After I give this a go, I might consider building a few sets for others who might like them to go along with their new Keplers. The great thing is that it's super simple to make these any height you like, just change the length of the PVC.
Here's some quick images from Sketchup.
