I would like to hear from your experience: your Beolabs 3 are standing on the rubber base stand or the aluminium table stand?  Is the choice relevant for sound quality?

Mine are wall mounted! There was a thread saying lifting them off the table did improve the sound. I have mine at ear level and they are excellent!

I think for good sound the key is that the lense is on ears height.  If you wall mount they should be angled that way.

From a "look" prospective, with the alu table stands you have the 2 cables sticking out to the rear of the speaker and that may be difficult to hide.
