As most will know, speakers like the Spendor BC1 sound
horrid if placed on
the floor. Raising them on a stand with air between the
floor and the
speaker sorts out the bass end nicely.

In practice, the stand height places the tweeter roughly
on line to the
ear when sitting down.

But is there a formula for the ideal distance from floor
to speaker based
on cabinet volume or whatever? Or is it just 'enough' and
more makes no
difference?



Speaker height was always regarded as that necessary to
place the speakers at ear level when in the listening
position.

Agree about the BC1 - but still a very warm speaker.
