Speaker Tilt Back benefits?


Hi all!
I need to purchase new spikes for my Audio Physic Virgo speakers (they have attached bars on the bottom front and back to stabilize the speaker and attach the spikes to), and it has been recommended to me that I purchase taller spikes for the front and smaller for the back in order to create a tilt back effect, which, I guess, is already built into the newer Mk III version of these speakers . However, I can't find much info on why this would be a good thing.
Thoughts?
Thx,
james

What sounds better will largely depend on your room acoustics, listening position and the vertical dispersion pattern of the speaker. There is no "rule of thumb" for this....just experiment. If a slight tilt makes a significant difference then this would indicate a problem somewhere....either room acoustics or the speaker. In this case, you may want to try to fix the root cause....
