Thanks, y'all!
I'm buying new spikes because the old set was lost in a move, and I was using inferior and cheap spikes - had one of those "aha" moments the other day and realized new spikes would probably improve the sound quite a bit. I've just tried just tilting them back a little using some mouse pads under the front outriggers, and I liked the sound; seemed to be a little more airy high end and better rhythm to the music. Could be some of that time align theory at work, or just a better balance for my room as GS5556 suggests. I'll try it with the spikes when they arrive and report back!
