Kitch. I believe the sloped baffle is what makes them time aligned. I don't know. I am just assuming, but, if you sit above the tweeters, wouldn't that defeat the purpose? I have to ask. Are the speakers level, from front to back. I have Heron I's and my listening position is not that high.
Important Info for Meadowlark Owners
I don't see my post under 'Meadowlark kestrels' and maybe I'm the last one to find out, but, I've found that the sloping baffle of the Kestrels'makes them an entirely different speaker with my ears way up at 48 to 50 inches off the floor. Gorgeous soundstage, tonal purity, amazing detail without any high frequency nastiness. Ratchet up your chair and hear them for the first time.
