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

Sounds similar to my former situation. Can you tilt the axis of your speaker back? That should tell you if this exercise is worth pursuing.

Also: How tall are you? How high is your seat off floor? How far back from front plane of speakers do you sit?

If you haven't purchased furniture recently, get ready for some serious sticker shock.
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.
I have always used the rule of same tweeter height as ear height in listening chair..So 41" and 41" for me.....I would assume that each speaker is different depending on the Dispersion of the tweeters but I always try to keep them close in height...I am no expert,for sure....
