Tweaking Your Speaker Placement


"Depending on the speakers an 1/8” move in the right way can have a significant impact."

What I am curious about is how one can verifiably move a speaker exactly 1/8th of an inch? My speakers on stands weigh about 60 pounds each and being bookshelf speakers, they are a little top heavy. They are also on IsoAcoustic Gaia's, which don't really slide too well.

How do you do it?

Admittedly, I have big Maggie's, which are very sensitive, but I adjust entirely by ear. No measurements. I suspect the channels are a bit different, different acoustic environment, different sound between channels, etc. My left speaker is slightly more toed in. I even have my listening chair on rollers so I can move forward or back depending on the recording. There's a big difference in dynamics,  depth and placement of the instruments across the stage.
