By chance, is the back of the sofa at or perhaps slightly above ear height? Maybe the sofa is damping the sound just behind your head and thus you percieve the sound to be different 6" above the tweeter. Just a thought...
Tweeter height - how to compensate?
My new speakers are too tall! The tweeter sits about 6 to 8" or so above my ear when I sit on the couch. This is really my first true experience with conventional speakers as I previously had Maggies, where tweeter height is not an issue.
Besides changing the furniture (not an option - and anyways, the sofa would look ridiculous - the one we have is already of a decent height), what else can be done?
I have tried raising the rear of the speaker a half inch or so but it sounds like this broke up the soundstage or something - I did not like the sound even as much. The speakers sound good but walking around and just before parking butt they sound better.
