Angle of Sonus Faber Olympica I stands?


Found a great deal on a pair of Sonus Faber Olympica Is and decided to pick them up. They were sold without the stands and several reviews mention the matching Sonus Faber stands tilting the speakers backwards slightly for better time-alignment of the drivers. Any chance someone knows what the angle on those stands ends up being? Figure on playing around a bit but thought it might help to know the ballpark the manufacturer uses. Can’t wait to get them fired up this weekend :). 
 

Thanks in advance

The angle depends on your distance from the speaker, the room's acoustics, etc. There is no "fixed" or preferred angle.  First position the speakers to maximize the bass and lower midrange which usually means approximating an equilateral triangle between the speakers and your listening position.  Then adjust the toe-in/out.  By this point, the soundstage should be very good.  Then gradually begin tilting the speakers listening to the treble.  Adjust to your preference,
