Simple question:
How much improvement in sound i will get if i buy monitor stands?

My Adams A5x`s are now on my desk on few big books. Tweeters are in line with my ears.

Room is 5m x 3m
There is nothing on walls, room treatment = 0%

I cant make anything about treatment now becouse i am not in my house its rented apartment. But there is furniture, bed, room isnt empty.

Better question: is there will be difference that can be heard with stands?

You can still do alot with treatment if it is a rental. You only need a few nails to hang things on the wall. Basstraps can stand by themselves.
The most important thing with monitors is the placement. So try to find the best place for the monitors by moving them around to find the spot that gives the most equal freq distribution.

every time i've ever moved speakers from a table/desk top or bookshelf, to a pair of decent stands, i've notice a pretty huge improvement in sound.

looking to get some for my ATCs after we move to paris. maybe these:

Hm nails, good idea

I cant move it much becouse they are on desk and nothing to place them instead, only to buy some stands first and move around, and then few absorbers to place it behind and bass traps for angles.

Room is 5x3m,
Computer and monitors are now on the 5m wall. On the right side of me is big window, and on left are doors. Behind is bed, left behid locker. On wall where are monitors are and somekind of shelf with tv and hifi speakers, some picture on wall... xD Any sugestions about position?

I'd change the monitors to have them on the 3 m wall. More space for waveform to spread out is always better.
