QUiKSR20 Posted October 24, 2001 Share Posted October 24, 2001 Whats up guys well i finally picked up my SB-3s for fronts.They sound great with my SC-1 center channel. Whats the optimum height speaker stands I should use with these. The speakers are 17 inches tall. Also I was looking into a set of Wood Tech stands but all of them are like 8x8 where the speaker goes up top and the SB-3s are 8 wide x 11.25 deep. If you could recomend a stand that would work good ( shouldnt the stand be as deep as the speaker? )and also a Height of stand I would apreciate it. Thanks, Daryl Gregg. ------------------------ My HT Setup so far ------------------------ Reciever - SONY STR-DE975 ( 110x5 ) DVD Player - SONY DVP-NS400D Center - Klipsch KSCC1 Mains - SB-3's Rears - Quintet's Sub - KSW 12 Cables are all AR Proseries and tv is just a Panasonic POS for now.

dougdrake2 Posted October 24, 2001 Share Posted October 24, 2001 Congratulations on your purchase! You'll want the horns to be at about ear level when you are in your favorite listening position. You usually want to be able to look right down the throats of the horns. No help on brands to look at, though. Sorry. DD2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BobG Posted October 24, 2001 Share Posted October 24, 2001 The top platform on the stand does not need to be the same size as the bottom of the speaker, but only big enough to be stable. The stands should position the speaker so the horn is at ear level when you are in your prime listening position. Depending on the chair or sofa, that is usually around 38" high. Sit in your favorite spot and measure the distance from your ear to the floor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
