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

Heh-Heh, 44" is my chair measurements too. I have my floorstanding speakers 48" at the tops from the floor with marble bases, 10" high in the front and 13" in the back. This gets my tweeter height at exactly 44". The rears could be higher for HT but they`re just right for 5.1 digital music! Hope this helps ya. Regards, Robin
Please pardon my generalizations, I don`t know what I was possibly thinking about by trying to help as I know nothing. I really have to learn to keep my mouth shut and leave the advise to the audiophile professionals. Regretfully, Robin
