Lower ceiling = shorter speaker stands?


Moving from a 8' to a 7' ceiling, should I move my speakers from a 24" to say a 20" tall pair of stands? This may sound silly but is it better to "re-center" the speaker in the vertical axis to "balance" early ceiling reflections with floor reflections?

If the postion of your ears are "in line" with the tweeters of the speakers, there is no need to change anyting,I think. Reflections from the floor and ceiling are mostly unwanted, and as the reflections from the floor are easier to damp (but not eliminate) with a carpet, the reflection from the ceiling isnĀ“t within the time window , where the brain is most likely to be confused by the reflected sound.
