Sound Anchor stands/B&W 802N/tweeter height

Has anyone compare 802Ns on and off the Sound Anchor stands. My ear height is around 42/43". The Sound Anchor stands would raise the center of the tweeter on the 8o2N to the 47" range. I've looked around but can seem to find any user information. Any experiences and/or insights would be greatly appreciated.

The front of the room is engineered hardwood over concrete. The rest of the room (the majority) is carpet over pad. The 8o2Ns are 93.65" into the room, 57.82 off the side wall. I'm sitting 124" from the speakers. The closet high-end dealer is many hours away...so I'm kind of on my own. Thanks for the help.

Solda, since you have a wood floor, take a look at Mapleshade.com. They have a spike kit for the N802 and some discs that you can use to protect the floor. I have not tried it. Maybe you can try it and report back.

Those caught my eye, when I got the fall issue but then I saw the price. $1160 plus shipping for the megafeet version...yikes. Maybe they'll have a sale.

I used the Sound Anchors with the 801n's. The speaker with the anchors is 100% improved with the stands. I found that I had a new respect for the cabinet design as the speaker seemed to be more free and natural sounding as well as tuneful. The stands should just come with every pair of 801n and 802n's from the factory.
