Ideally speaker stands should put the tweeters at ear level. ?I made mine patterned after the early 3 post Dahlquist stands but made the taller putting the bottom of the speakers at 12 1/2” off the floor. ?I expanded the base dimension by 10% as well. ?That said, one should never look a gift horse in the mouth so I’d go with the higher WAF option.

Recently bought two sets of legs off Amazon for my DQ-10's. One set is 10" tall and the other is 8" tall. The 10" legs are flat black and made of steel (see attached photo) and I would need to paint them a dark walnut brown to look right. The wooden legs at 8", but are a lighter brown (could possibly stain them darker).
Is there a preferred height? I'm having trouble thinking such a small difference matters.The steel legs have a diameter of just over 1" at the widest part; the wooden ones are closer to 2" in diameter where the attach to the metal plate.
FWIW the wife likes the wood ones so less resistance to putting these in any room I choose.
