I can't believe they don't do straight capita brackets. I'd just go with the angled ones then and bring the speakers forwards a bit so the centre of gravity of the speakers isn't so far off the back of the overall unit or double up on the capita brackets.

Yeah, i wonder if anyone else sells anything...

Ah, cheers for the Capita legs reference, I was looking for them in the catalogue a couple weeks back and couldn't find anything.
I'm using a single 2x4 expedit with everything stacked on top. At first, I wanted to put that on wheels but that would've been too wobbly, and I felt it'd be too high.
Being 6ft tall (I could technically rest my wang on the mixer, not that I'd want to, even if it's a Xone) I noticed some slight back pain after playing more often/for longer than an hour at a time recently. This means I gotta raise things up.
Considering using Capita legs which should be enough, but some of the comments here have me a little worried about stability. Not a big fan of adding an extra, deeper piece on top since I live in a small flat and I'm enjoying the reclaimed space from moving to the expedit and I don't miss having the laptop in front of me that much.

It looks like it is stable and does work. I haven't seen one with high monitor stands like I want though but found these on djf.

I have an idea for a straight stainless bracket.

http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/00054564 one of those, somehow attach two together bottom to bottom so then you have a 13" straight leg with bracket on both ends.

it looks like the bottom is threaded so the feet screw out, maybe if I just took a straight threaded rod I could attach both together end to end.

Another idea....

This one looks more stable I just don't know how I would secure the two expedits together.

Metal brackets on the bottom?

I know this picture sucks and it's insanely messy but I wanted to share my workstation area:



basically the monitor screen and nearfield monitors are raised up by around 15cm from the top of the desk. They're sitting on a section from an old Futon bed base that I sawed into pieces. On top of that is just some old shelving unit that I use as a rack for studio gear/cables etc.

Yeah it looks really shitty but functionally it's perfect

edit: here's a nicer picture of under the Futon bed base:
