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?


**No. It is entirely dependent on the whim of the designer. Most (sane)
designers organise things such that the HF driver is close to normal ear
level. Some deigners place the bass driver close to the floor to obtain
'room gain'.
