I'm in the process of purchasing some 120Ti speakers. Can anybody tell me the ideal height for stands and suggest any good deals out there? I've never heard the 120Ti, but I understand that they were pretty good. I had some nice L88s in the 70s and I have a couple of friends who still have their L100s. Thanks.

You want the mids and tweets at around ear level, so whatever stand accomplishes that. I recommend heavy steel stands, (not cheap), some can be filled with sand. I use a pair of these: http://www.crutchfield.com/p_051SFC18B/Sanus-SFC18-Center-Channel-Speaker-Stand-Black.html?search=speaker+stand (http://www.crutchfield.com/p_051SFC18B/Sanus-SFC18-Center-Channel-Speaker-Stand-Black.html?search=speaker+stand)
for all my heavy old JBLs. The extra large platform will support a large cabinet and the stand is plenty beefy.

OK. Thanks for the info. Back in the old days, I put my L88s on whatever was available, even bookshelves. Wasn't much of an audiophile then. But they sure sounded great!

Well, there's still nothing wrong with bricks and cinder blocks. ;)

If you know a welder, you could prolly throw together something like those steel Janus stands for a bit less. All you'd need are some spikes, which can also be made. 2 plates and a couple pipes.
