Best Stand for Harbeth 7ES-3 Compact

I got a pair of 7ES-3 and would like to obtain a pair of solid speaker stands for them.

Which stands work better - metal or wood? I read Skylan and Target offer some models. What about Lipinski Sound stands (though I couldn't find any info. about the stands on Lipinski Sound' website)?

In addition, what's the optimal height for the stands? 18 inch or 20 inch?

Thanks.

I would go by what Alan uses, recommends - he is such a nudnick about resonance, I would assume stands matter to him and the performance of his speakers.

Despite Alan's dogma that all amplifiers sound similar, I have yet to see someone using a Sony amp to drive the Harbeth.

If you've read through some of his responses on HUG you would notice he doesn't really care about the stands for his speakers. He suggested that the Harbeth will sound equally good when placed on bricks or telephone directories.

Then the "best" stand would be the one that brings the speaker to the right height, is stable, and looks good. I think Allan uses a Quad SS amp (909?).
