Do you own B&W DM602 S3 speakers? How tall are the speaker stands you are using?

Greetings fellow lovers of good music and great audio!

About 8 years ago I was in a job that paid well and covered most expenses and I felt the desire to spend money so I started working towards buliding a great audio system and home theater...

Then the job ended and I was only half way there!

Long story short, my brother has been storing 3 pairs of B&W DM602 S3 speakers, never out of the box, in his basement!

NOW I am going to try to finish where I left off.

I plan on building a TV stand with compartments for the cable box / CD player / receiver / Blu Ray AND speakers underneath it -

I know I have to get this right if it's going to sound good.

My first concern is I cannot find the dimensions of the speaker stands that use to be sold to go with the B&W 602 S3's.

I want to make sure that I build this thing to put the speakers at the ideal height, on the same plane (I'm using one of these speakers as a center channel), and at the ideal distance apart.

So if anybody else still owns these speakers and would kindly take a tape measure to their speaker stands I'd really appreciate it.

Any other tips after that would be welcome!

Thanks.

I would sit in your main sitting position and measure the height where your ears are and make the stands so that the tweeters in the speakers are at about that height.

here are the speaker dimensions Dimensions: 19.3" x 9.3" x 11.5" (HxWxD)

you should grab the speakers of course first before you do any stand building.

That's the goal - and I'm sure the manufacturer of the speaker stands for those particular speakers took that into account - for the average listening position and the average listener height.

Thanks for the feedback.
