Correct imaging

I would like to upgrade the factory spikes on my Helicon�s. I was considering 1.5� spikes, front and rear, from Brass & Granite Audio. However, when I was surfing their website I saw a spike tip which recommended 1.5� spikes on the rear and 2.15� to the front of the speaker to obtain the correct tilt for correct imaging. It is true for all types of speakers or is it design specific? Also is the tilt a function of a distance? Any preferable angle? Thanks for the response!

Thanks for the responses. I checked the manual and found out that the sound distribution and correct timing were taken into consideration during speaker design, so no need for the tilt is necessary. In this case I will stick with the same spike heights. As far as Dayton spikes are considered do you know what is the tread size (I need M10x1.5)? I would like to keep original mounting holes.
Thanks,
