@ditusa I measured my speakers and I need to lift them about 5" to get it to 12" formula
According to JBL engineer Greg Timbers, 14’’ off the floor is good. His home speaker woofer designs are around 12’’ to 14’’ off the floor. See JBL Everest one, two and the 250TI, the L250, and L300, see here. Flush mounting the speakers in the wall and about 3’ off the floor is best, maybe not always practical see here. I would say raising the speakers about 3’ off the floor takes the floor out of the equation, now its just the four walls and ceiling to deal with. For what its worth. I started with with 4’’ from the floor to the bottom of the woofer frame I’m content with 14.5’’. For your information, my speakers were designed for studio control rooms for mixing and mastering so if there a little above ear level it will not matter as the sound remains the same see here. With all the talk about bass and subwoofers, I like the way my speakers pressurize every square inch of the room, its a visceral feeling as well as eargasmic just like a live event. 😎
