Speaker stand height

Vmps model 626sre sounds best with beard, Sean is right on the correct speaker height. As I said In my post above, get stands with adjustment.

Heh-Heh, 44" is my chair measurements too. I have my floorstanding speakers 48" at the tops from the floor with marble bases, 10" high in the front and 13" in the back. This gets my tweeter height at exactly 44". The rears could be higher for HT but they`re just right for 5.1 digital music! Hope this helps ya. Regards, Robin

It depends on the speaker. Ask the manufacturer, and don't listen to people who generalize from their experience with other speakers (except Sean's comments above are good because he talks about some of the variables). I have two different models of speakers designed by the same person and made by his company. With one of them, the right height is where the tweeter is at ear level. With the other, the right height is where the top of the speaker cabinet is at ear level. It depends on the speaker.

Please pardon my generalizations, I don`t know what I was possibly thinking about by trying to help as I know nothing. I really have to learn to keep my mouth shut and leave the advise to the audiophile professionals. Regretfully, Robin

Tweeter at ear height is a good rule of thumb. However, my Revels, because of the tweeter dispersion will always do a tad better if the listeners ears are at or a little below the tweeter height. Which indicates, obviously, that this is very dependent on your speakers. I don't think you could go wrong with a tweeter-ear height match, sitting in the Kings seat. peace,warren
