Are these floorstanding speakers high enough?

I'm thinking about getting these B&W speakers to be used as my two main fronts:

My question is, do they stand high enough as is or would I need to raise them or something? They would be used mainly for home theater, with music secondary.

They stand 35.8 inches high by the way. They look higher in the pictures. Actually I was sorta surprised at how low they actually are but I guess the tweeter is about ear level when sitting down so it should be ok?

Experiment by setting these on concrete blocks. If you like the sound better in the raised position, buy short stands. Parts Express has one at 8" high with a slight back tilt.

I use an Outlaw audio 1050 AV Receiver which I believe has a clean 65 watts per channel .
