Tweeter height


I picked up a pair of Ushers that are 50" tall and was wondering what the deal is with the tweeter being so high, it's mounted at the top. I always thought the ideal tweeter height was at ear level. They sound great, but am curious about how some speakers are designed with the tweeter so high.

Proper tweeter height on some speakers can make an amazing difference. I was using a pair of Silverline Audio SR-11s on a pair of 24 inch stands and they were sounding nice enough but I noticed if I slumped down to a point where my ears were at the midway point between the tweeter and woofer they were completely different. The soundstage became deeper and wider with wonderful images floating in the music. Needless to say I got taller stands. It really can make a difference.
