Sierra 2 Stand height?

[whitey019]

Planning to order a pair of Sierra-2s soon and I'm thinking of pairing them up with these stands.

The question is ...what size? I was thinking 29in, but what does everyone recommend?

It really depends on how high your ears will be. I have my pair of Sierra-2s on 29 inch VTI DF stands, and they work great. My listening chair is an Ekornes Stressless recliner:

Good luck!

Thanks for the quick response bobola! I'm not sure of my seating arrangement yet, but typically I like the tweeter to be at least 40in high.

We have an Ekornes stressless sofa with ottoman and 2 matching recliners in our living room in a home theater configuration.

They are costly, but your back will never go back.

OMG...I can’t tell you how jealous I am!!

Your ears should be even with the center of the tweeter, so choose the height based on the height of your ears to the floor. I had 30” stands which put the tweeter a few inches above my ears, but I replaced those with 26” high ones. That made a noticeable improvement in soundstaging and imaging.

I usually aim for the mid point between the centers of the two adjacent drivers - the tweeter and the mid-range/woofer. In that plane, the two sum the same, acoustically, regardless of the listening distance. That is what I would use as a reference in a design, but I don't know if Dave uses that as his reference. In an MTM arrangement, I would expect to be right in the plane of the tweeters.

I have VTI stands under my Sierra 2 L & R and my Horizon C and love them. Zero trouble, quite secure with some Blu-Tak, and they disappear sonically and visually.

Note I have the DF-29s for my L & R and the DFC-19 for my center (I also use a foam wedge to angle the center toward the main listening position). This combo has worked very well for me (the 29" stands puts the Sierra 2 tweeters at my ear level as seated in MLP theater recliners).

Although this may be obvious, I will state it regardless:
Your eyes are ear level so you can use them as a guide as well.

I really like those VTI stands. Another option are these stands from Sanus: http://a.co/5NfbmJl

Keep in mind that a few inches above or a few inches below ear-level isn't going to make any audible difference...
