Jason,
I've been using On-Stage SMS-6000's for my older 8" near fields. Haven't decided whether to put the D5s on these or leave them next to the computer monitor where my little JBL Control 1's used to go for reference. I got the On-Stage stands on sale at GC for about $79. But the everyday street price seems to be about $99.
So far, I like the distance, the height and the feel of the D5s on the desk furniture instead of the stands, but I am moving in a month or so, and am waiting to see how that new place works out.
If I remember seeing pics of your space, you're a bit crowded. Stands might, indeed, give you some room you need.

EDIT: ... price was per unit, I believe.. not per pair. pffffttt.. I AM getting old. :P
