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.

Those should be good, although expensive to me. 24" is too high, no matter what your height. Alan Shaw would probably disagree, but it seems at that height it starts robbing from the bass area. You'll be very happy to hear them at 19". Have fun!

Thanks for your response.

You're welcome, good Dr. Now will come the age old question of what to fill them with, or not at all....

My Sound Anchor stands came prefilled, sealed, and weigh a ton. Not sure what they use.

My dealer demo'd the Harbeths with the Epos ST-12 stands and I think they work very well. They are 20" high. If you absolutely need to go lower, the 18" Lovan Jazz are excellent for the money - about $140. I've used both these stands with Harbeth speakers with very good results. The Lovans have a 3-point base, which I'm a big fan of, as they sit flat on the floor without having to adjust spikes when trying to find the optimum speaker position.
