Problem with soundstage up near ceiling.


This is driving me nuts. I have changed everything. The whole system and still have this issue. The room is about 14'x20'x6'8". When seated in the sweat spot, all the highs seem to be comming from where the wall meets the ceiling. I insulated the joists behind the drop ceiling tiles and tried use Owen Corning 703 in more places than I can count.
I you have ever seen this before, give me a clue.

Your overall low ceiling height might be the big culprit here. Have you tried playing with the feet adjusters (spikes or whatever) to position the tweeters at more of a downward angle rather than level to your listening position? Also toe in or tow out? My sound stage on good recordings ranges from 1/2 way up a 8' wall to the ceiling and I get down right upset if things like vocals are not at least 6~7 feet off the floor. On some recordings it almost washes over top of my listening position.
