I think you were on the right track tilting the speaker forward, a la WATT/Puppies. The breaking up of the soundstage could be due to increased floor reflections. Consider putting something on the floor to absorb reflections, like pillows, a stuffed ottoman, etc. Good luck.
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.
