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

I'm 6'2" and my chair is 18" off the floor. I could remove the cushion but that would only put my ears at 39".
I do have outriggers on my speakers but that can cause issues in itself trying to tilt. Some speakers have a window like the Vandersteen and when you're in it, you'll get good resullts.

Thanks for the info and I'll do some experimenting!

My ears are about 12" above the back of my chair.
