It is recomended by most that the speakers (the tweeters) up front should be at ear level when seated. The surrounds typically a couple feet above ear level. You can get some excellent advice from both Dobly & THX's web sites on speaker placements.

For stands, not all are equal by any means. Here is a link to a site that I have used for two different sets of speaker stands: http://www.standsandmounts.com/

A couple points. 1) Make sure that the stand is rated for the weight of your speaker(s) many are designed for very light weight speakers. 2) If you have children, or have vistors with children, becareful since many stands will be very top heavy and easy to knockover once you set the speaker on top of the stand.
