6-9 ft, based on system and room.

Definately scope out the PA arrangement and adjust stand height accordingly.  I don't ever recall running anywhere remotely over 10' max ever....

I saw a dude at the avalon for mike that had his stand at about nipple height. I didnt ask why but I thought it was odd. I think they were DPA mics

....actually those were phishin's mics.  They were at nipple height because his pre wasn't working.  He just didn't pack them up till the show was over.

They were AKGs also.....

i personally think around 14' is good
seems to cut the crwod down nice yet not 17' where the crowd can be cut so much ts "dead" sounding

my stand only goes to about 12.5' though

Bass response is a factor in stand height, yeah?  I know that generally you can hear a lot more low end from about 6' (where my head is) compared to just a little higher.
