Unfortunately, it depends on your room and many other factors. I have a feeling that WAF will be a major factor in many decisions (including mine...)
What sounds good to you?

I went with 22" sound organisation stands, and have been very pleased with the results. I checked lots of websites before purchasing, and while the consensus is to get stands that put the tweeter around ear height, there is absolutely no consensus as to whether to go a bit above or a bit below ear height if there is no perfect match.
So, the 22' stands were almost dead on with my ear height, but if anything, they are a bit higher. It sounds great, and I have not noticed any negative effect from switching from 20" stands which were a bit lower.

Jimmy, these are the ones I use and they work great,can fill the tubes with sand or shot for added mass!

Jimmy, I bought a pair of stands that look great, and are functional. Do you have a store near you called "The Great Indoors". They had a pair of nice speakers, wood shaft . Worth to look at. Got them for 70.00 pr I believe.

Is "added mass" in a speaker stand something that will affect sound or would its purpose be to make the stand more stable?

I would think that it would serve both purposes, depending on what was used to fill the tubes, I used lead shot because some have said that it helps with any cabinet resonance.

Ideally, you want your stand to be completely solid and non-resonant. Even the most well-built speaker cabinet will resonate a bit when playing music. If the surface a speaker is not solid enough, then the resonance of one will add to the other, compounding the negative effect.
Sand and lead shot are both great and effective materials to fill your stands with and deaden them, in addition to making them more stable and difficult to knock over accidentally.

I experimented with several stand heights for my M22s, and decided on 26". First, my couch has me sitting with my ears much higher than 18" inch stands could place the tweeters. Second, I found the upper and midrange to sound better below the tweeter axis than below, while bass performance was stronger above the axis. My subwoofer is boomy enough without any acoustical reinforcement, so I placed the speakers up. Third, I often listen while walking around my house, so the shorter stands were far below my standing listening position.
I found some beautiful matching (I hope) cherry stands here, as suggested above: http://www.racksandstands.com/asp/show_detail.asp?sku=WT0050&catid=9
I'll let you know if the color matches when they come in.
