a stand height of 28 inches.
In my case, giving my Totem Mites a little extra height (I tried 24"
stands) allowed the sound to have better clearance over a nearby
sofa and end table, resulting in more room filling sound and better
extension of high frequencies. Of course, I cannot give my room
"ideal" acoustics since someone insists on SEVERAL chairs and sofas
arranged to stimulate conversation amoung guests.
I recommend "Skylan's" thick 2 pillar-design stands - fill with
silica sand - as an economical solution to getting the very best from
mini-monitors. Also, blue tac seems to work well in ensuring a solid
coupling between speaker and stand.
Leaving room acoustics and obstacles aside - the 28" height should
place the tweeters "more or less" at ear height to project a great
stereo image as I believe your Harbeths to be, like my Mites, tiny speakers (thats tiny, not TINNY!

Speaker stands must be 25.75" tall -- any higher or lower will be a sonic disaster - Richard BassNut Greene 15:26:10 01/6/05 (0)
