28” will put the tweeters right at ear level. I guess the extra 4” shouldn’t make a big difference in stability of the stands.

Update: I’m waiting on my Umik to arrive. None available in the city. A bit of a development with my demo speakers - I sent the shop photos of the dinged up driver. In a surprising gesture, they’ve offered to swap them out with a brand new pair, for the same price. That’s far lower than any...
