I am building the studio monitors currently and my stands will be 23" from top to bottom including feet; the center of the tweeter is 15" from the bottom of the baffle, placing it at my seated ear height. (6'3"). The traditional H frames are a min of 27.5" w/o feet, isolation, etc; you might get away with the W frame design as that looks to take 4ish inches of the height.
