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

Slaw3.I have a pair of NHT3.3 speakers which I have had for eight years.My biggest complaint regarding these was I always felt the soundstage to be to low in height .A year ago I put long screws thru my front supports into my spikes. Then I experimented tilting the speakers back. The screws I used were 5 inches long and after about two weeks of trial I found at 1.33 inches in lift I got the soundstage to lift in height about 18 inches any higher and I lost depth to the sound stage. After I was happy with the height I took a inch and a half dowel cut it to length drilled a hole thru the length painted them black cut the screws to the correct length. They look like they came this way.My outriggers or bars as you call them are threaded so for less than a dollar you can experement for yourself. Sorry I waited so long before I tryed this.
