Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

"Anywhere from 19" to 22" of height in the stands are recommended" - by whom?

Harbeth has always recommended that the tweeters be at the height of your ears. When they sold the original C7s with a matching stand, it was 17 inches. The woofer in that cabinet works best on a 16-17 inch stand. You like them. That's fine. But if someone doesn't, I would recommend a lower stand and tilting them back if necessary just enough so that tweeters are firing at the listener's ears. Otherwise you're listening to some salesman's ideas instead of the designer's.
