Speaker stands height for Harbeth Compact 7es3

Hello
What is the right speaker stands height for Harbeth
Compact 7es3. Skylan makes SKY-4P20, 20" high but it seams
to be to high. I was thinking to order in 18" height. My
listening distance is 9' and it would bring tweeter to ears
level. I would really appreciate opinions. Thanks.

I am using the 20" SKY-4P20 with my 7es3s and think they are just right. I have not experimented with other heights though. Perhaps your listening chair is quite a bit lower than mine. They are nice quality stands too.

If the 18" stands get the tweeters to ear level then they should work fine. I think Sound Anchor makes three 17, 19, & 20" that fit the 7s.

Any opinions, Skylan vs Sound Anchor?

Sound Anchor. Bob makes some incredible stands.

Yes, for quite a bit more money...
the 20" skylans are not too high, unless you're short or lay down while you listen, even then they'd be fine. If you go lower the soundstage seems to drop in height. I'm 6', my chair is a normal 18" seat, and the skylans work great with my 7's.
As for comparing them to the sound of metal or wood, you can read plenty of posts on the merits or demerits of each.
