I bought a QSC 10.2 powered speaker (based on advice in this forum)
I can hardly hear them when they are on the floor... much better when I put them on top of a table.
Now I am thinking of buying a Speaker stand and wondering if people have better experience having their speaker up at 6foot high or down around 3-4 feet.
I am playing with a band and expect to have the speaker behind me... and don't want it blowing directly into my ears at 5'8
What height do you have your speakers?

I use the Yorkville SKS-02B small speaker stand. Since I play sitting, I keep the stand at the lowest setting, which puts the speaker at 3-sh feet/bit less than a meter off the ground. The stand will go as high as about 4 feet. They are light and easy to carry and very easy on the wallet. I’ve had a pair for years and they hold up very well.

I'm playing with a (big) big band: 10~15 brass players. As my QSC K8.2 should be 1~2 meters away to sound good, I need them approximately on ear level (or in line with my ear if they are tilted). For optical reasons, I opted for 'a little lower'. Depending on my position on stage, I put them between 80 and 110 cm (base level) - which should be top edge or mid of the speaker on ear level.
I started with a K&M 21455 (now 21454) always at ear level (sitting). Great monitor experience, but not looking the best.
I now use a set of Gravity WB 123 B, a QSC K Series Pole-Extension (406 mm), optionally a K&M 21329 (250 mm) as additional extension, a K&M 19683 (50 mm) to finalise (for stability reasons) plus an angle adaptor K&M 19674 (another 200 mm approximately) at the end -- better looking. Looks very nice and monitoring is OK. No idea how this would do with the additional weight and size of a K10.2, though.
You'll get a lot of speaker stands for 3' and higher, but I wasn't at ease finding a solution which is a little understated.
