Think….of course ! The direction of your sound is travelling along the floor if that’s where you now have them. Makes sense to have it ear level at a minimum don’t you think ? And filling with sand great idea if you’re a weightlifter, depending on speakers makes absolutely no difference.
Do different speaker stands can really make a big sound improvement?
I am looking for stands for my new Harbeth P3ESR XD speakers and wonder how much improvement one can actually hear between close to a $1000 stands and a $100 one filled with sand?
