Comcherry; thanks for the info. re: tilting on the 2.5s, I'll look into it further. Avguy; at least temporarily, I brought your rating back to zero for your first post here-- can't understand why you'd get negs for that? I suspect you're right, the listening height thing of 3.8s may be just a "perceived" problem by us audiogeeks. Altho' LG in his STPH review did set his listening ht. at tweeter ht.-- but then he's an audiogeek too. Cornfed; lifeguard chair good idea-- in southern Calif:>) Thanks, and Cheers. Craig
Proac 3.8 Owners
I've been doing some preliminary research on Proac 3.8 speakers and can't find any information on optimum listening height for this speaker. The tweeter is located at about 44" (speaker height is 49" on spikes), but my preferred listening position height is more like 34-36"-- hey, I'm a slouch.
I've called two dealers, including the USA importer, and all were puzzled-- in fact had never thought about it. Does anyone have any info. on this? Maybe listening height is not important with the 3.8s? My Vand. 3As are adjustable for listening height by tilting the speaker forward or back with adjustable spikes-- can the 3.8s be tilted? But then 3As have 1st order crossovers and optimum listening height is important. I see the 3.8s have 3rd order crossovers. I'm hundreds of miles from nearest dealer, thus the questions/research at this point. Thanks. Craig
