I like to place the mains at the lower edge of the screen when used for home theater. And I like that to be somewhere close to ear level seated. But since the forward lobe is clean 20° above and 20° below, there's plenty of wiggle room. I prefer not to have the speakers so high or so low they seem unnatural, but I've found there's two to three feet of range that sounds right, provided, of course the listeners are several feet back.
As a result, I generally like having the mains on stands that are 12" to 15" high. They could be as much as a foot higher, but I think aesthetically, that looks odd. Constant directivity cornerhorns have their height built-in by virtue of design.
