Vandersteen 2CE Sigs tweeter too high


My Vandersteen 2CE Sigs tweeters are too high when I sit in my listening chair. I want to remove the stands and use spikes directly into the speakers' base. Has anyone done this? What can I expect in sound change?

Vandersteen speakers are not intended to be level or tilted forward, nor should they be lowered and run without their spikes. Read the manual and follow the detailed tilt instructions necessary for achieving proper time alignment of the drivers.

There is a chart in the manual that will tell you exactly how much tilt to have for your seating distance and chair height. If you are going to ignore these instructions then know that too much tilt-back is better than not enough. Definitely do not tilt forward.

I'm a Vandersteen dealer.
Rosedanny,

All I did was point out the correct way to set them up in terms of tilt and height. Unfortunately, there is only one way to achieve proper time alignment. Sorry if that seems "fundamentalist" to you but that's how it is. No one has discussed where to put them in the room- that's a different issue entirely.

I'm not putting a gun to your head and telling you to listen to me...just trying to offer good advice.

By all means, have fun.
