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

Tweeter at ear height is a good rule of thumb. However, my Revels, because of the tweeter dispersion will always do a tad better if the listeners ears are at or a little below the tweeter height. Which indicates, obviously, that this is very dependent on your speakers. I don't think you could go wrong with a tweeter-ear height match, sitting in the Kings seat. peace,warren
