when I got my 4410's , the prior owner had them on a hardwood floor. Sounded good.
When I got them home, put them on my carpeted floor, sounded like sheeeeet.
In an hour or so, got them up on 13in tall stands. MUCH better.
Today raised them to 19in , which is ear level when sitting..even better.
QUESTION : Is there a way to calculate optimum hight ? Or is it "just experiment until right ??"
Is it different for near fields ? Consumer models ?
etc ??
Any recommendations on speaker stands about 19-20 inch ?
