Moving the sweet spot


Moving the sweet spot.

I was just walking behind my sweet spot chair, and I had noticed that I can hear more of the high frequency, just before I arrive in the center of the listening position, then I move back and forth to pinpoint the place. Then I move my chair at that new spot, one foot farther back, one foot to the right, the chair pointing between the middle of the speakers. So, It seems that if I am sitting at the sweet spot, there is a high frequecy cancellation. My room is an open space, and my left ear is not as good as I was young.

In your original listening position, have you tried toe-in to the point that the drivers are facing you?
Or tilting the speakers back (rake angle)? The angle would depend on the size of of your room.

@audiosens, that's great and you're very welcome.
The tweaking you've done is really what I would call speaker placement 101.

You have no idea how many times I've repositioned my speakers a half inch at a time to find the sweet spot for my room. 


audiosens, do you have any room treatments? Absorbion and diffusion in key areas can help immensely.
