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.

Given Alan's thoughts on resonance as part of his design philosophy, I would think that whatever stands he uses or recommends are an important part of his design philosophy - if he works with Skylan, it is likely that the two are made for each other - you would think he would make his own stands to accompany his smaller speakers, but I guess that is a different kind of work.

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.

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?).
