Sopra 2 soundstage height


Can the Sopra 2's give sufficient height to the soundstage?  Listened at a dealer and they were having problems.  Raked all the way back and vocals still sounded like they were coming from 4 feet high.  I wondered if that tilted mid driver was causing this.

Could Sopra 2 owners chime in on this?

I've had my Sopra 2's for several years now using a Simaudio 700i amplifier and Simaudio CD Player.  
They've improved quite a bit after a few hundred hours of play time.  Recently, I've tried to get them dialed-in better to my room which is a Townhouse...very wide so sidewall reflections aren't a factor.  I've got them pulled out into the room about 4'8" to the front tweeter with hardly any toe-in needed. I'm planning to remove the metal grill covering the tweeter as I've heard good reports about how they sound considerably better without that grill scattering the high frequencies.  Maybe the toe-in adjustment will change by removing the metal grill....we shall see.
Any comments from anyone else who removed the tweeter grill? 
They're beautiful speakers to look at and listen to.
