I've never owned WS speakers but we all know they are great. However, I think if clearance is going to be an issue, you might want to look at Exile or Bullet. I have Bullet 770s on my XLV tower, I'm 6ft tall and still have a couple/few inches to spare. I think the Exiles are even a little shorter than the Bullets and we all know everyone is raving about the Exile speakers.
