Tweeter height...align with ears?


I just purchased some new monitor speakers and stands. These stands put the tweeters about 3-4" above my ears when I am in my listening chair. I am just curious how important it is for the ears to be vertically aligned with the tweeters?

Thanks guys. Unfortunately the stands that came with my speakers are not adjustable for height or rake. I was messing around with toe in last night which seemed to help get the coherence right. I will test out different height chairs today to see if getting my ears up to tweeter height helps.

And Lowrider I was actually planning to add some absorption on my ceiling in the near future.
Thanks Onhwy61. That Stereophile article was a good read. Given that I am only 3" below the tweeter height at a horizontal distance of 86" away from the tweeter means that I am only off axis by less than 2 degrees. According to the the Stereophile measurements I should not hear any difference. Thank you again.
