Speaker Tilt Back benefits?


Hi all!
I need to purchase new spikes for my Audio Physic Virgo speakers (they have attached bars on the bottom front and back to stabilize the speaker and attach the spikes to), and it has been recommended to me that I purchase taller spikes for the front and smaller for the back in order to create a tilt back effect, which, I guess, is already built into the newer Mk III version of these speakers . However, I can't find much info on why this would be a good thing.
Thoughts?
Thx,
james

This may sound crazy, but I've got the Virgo II's little brother, the Spark. I have used a different approach in my room. I listen about 6ft from ear to midwoof, and 8ft apart, so I'm in the nearfield. Anyway, the soundstage depth is so good-it starts at the plane of the mains and goes back from there. I actually tip the speakers forward, not back and it seems to increase the height of the stage. Obviously YMMV, but I swear I've seen this in pics under member systems where a fellow had the Virgo II's tipped forward, so I have a feeling I'm not the only one doing this. Hope this is some help, don't mean to confuse, just explaining my results. -Fish
