Speaker stand height

I've seen conflicting information on speaker stands. Some people say the stands should be tall enough to place the tweeter 35-36" off the ground, while others claim the tweeter should be 44-45". FWIW, I measured my ear level seated in my listening chair at 44". Should I have stands tall enough to place the tweeters at that height? The top of the speakers at that height? Something else?

Thanks,
Jeff

I have found that certain monitors are more sensitive to height than others. Personally, I have usually ended up with a tweeter placement very near ear level (assuming that the tweeter was the highest driver) which is right around 36" in my current setup.

I would look for stands that will allow you to get those tweeters near your ear level.
