Speaker Axis ?

Guys,

Just curious if I'm missing something listening at a higher axis. The center of my Avalon's Ascendant tweeter is 36" and my listening chair(high back)puts my ears at 41". Is the difference enough to minimize imaging and soundstaging and if so what type of chairs are you using to adjust your ears to the tweeter height?

Thanks

Just slouch down in the chair and listen.

It is easier and cheaper to raise the speaker than the furniture, unless you use a barber chair for a listening seat.

I tend to prefer the tweeter to actually be just slightly higher than ear level on conventional speaker designs.
