Speaker stands for Reference 3A De Capo i


I need to buy speaker stands for my new Reference 3A De Capo i. I saw that many brands like Atlantis or Lovan have two talls: 24" or 28". Which one I must buy ?
Please let me know your experience.
Thanks,
Pablo

I'm kind of reviving this thread because I just took delivery of a new pair of De Capo iA's and need stands for them. I have a pair of Osiris metal stands, sand filled. They are very solid and heavy. Their top plate was the perfect size for my Ref 3a Dulcets but will be a bit small for the De Capo's.
Does that matter? If so, any current stand suggestions?
Mapman,

Good to hear from you.

Reference 3A has a deal going. When you buy direct from them, you get six months to apply the full price of your purchase to upgrade in their line. That's what I did; they deducted the full price of my Dulcets from the De Capo's.
Soix,

For the time being I'm going to try my Osiris stands. I should be getting my speaks set up over the next few days and I'll see how they do. The Osiris stands are rock solid. With their (enormous) spikes in place, the top plate sits at about 26" from the floor, which is exactly the height recommended by Ref 3A when the speakers are on a carpeted surface (my room has an area rug). Over an uncarpeted floor, they recommend 28" height. By my rough calculations, there should be 1.5 to 1.75 inches of speaker overhang around the four sides of the speaker base, relative to the stand top plate.

Eventually, I may try a height-adustable stand. My listening seat is atypically tall. My listening room doubles as a guest bedroom and I sit on a day bed as my listening chair. Ref 3A makes height adjustable stands. The Core design stands look really beautiful, it's true, but they're a little beyond my budget.
