Good move mate. I think the average audiophile has an inability to completely relax on any given system for any period of time; there's always that question in the back of the mind "what if...?" which rears its ugly head every time music is playing. However if one stops being an audiophile for a moment and simply enjoys the wonderfully high quality music then the question diminishes - it's hard I know, but it's worth it.
You're right about stands though, it is hard to audition them, not only due to the bulk but also the fiddling and altering that goes hand in hand with that type of 'component'. It took about three weeks of alteration until I got my speakers set up just right, well I thought they were right anyway until two heavy but rather attractive concrete blocks presented themselves to me. I popped them under my speaker stands (with a 12x12 slate sheet betwixt block and spikes) and they made a heck of a difference. It made me think how other materials would differ the presentation, but that of course takes me back to the start of this post.
