Greetings

I'm getting ready to overhaul a pair of 7b's, new caps, resisters, etc., and I'd like to build up some stands as well.

What is the recommended height and tilt for these things?

Thanks.

    Well, I think my stands are original, and the dimensions are as follows:

    Bottom plate is 3/4" thick, height to top plate from surface of bottom is 10+1/2" (back) and 11+1/16" (front) clinometer reading on iPhone was ~7 degrees of tilt.

    Thanks. I think I'll go a different route with mine, something the speakers can sit on without any need to screw anything into the cabinets. I have a very uneven floor in my basement due to the original house owner insisting on a way too steep a slope to the drains so adjustable feet is a requirement. The plan is to make for an easy project and once I find that box of round tuits I'll post the results. They'll be about 8" high to center with the recommended 6 degree tilt.
