You could also tilt the speaker back a little to angle the tweeter more to your liking. That often does the trick and it is a cheap fix.
Speaker height...should known better
The other day I was listening to my system sitting down on my chair on my computer when all of sudden I had lower my head to glimpse a song on my screen when I realize, wait this sound much better. I have only lowered my head a few inches or 3 and all of sudden the music sounded way better. So much better to a point where it sounded coherent, phase timed and much more dynamic. I thought for a long time I have placed my Triangle BR03 tweeter at ear level. From the perception view from the listening position I would if thought it was at ear level. I was wrong. Currently my ears level is 3 inches above the tweeter(about the top of the cabinet). When I bought the speakers stands a few years ago, I got them new for my other speakers that were smaller. The current height on the stands are 28". I think what need now are at least 31". No wonder my measurements had a gradual roll off of the high end at around 8k at a couple of speakers I had.
Now I am planning on getting higher stands to hear the difference.

@highend64 Triangle manufactures and sells 23.5" - 25.5" stands specifically designed for the BR03. So I would assume that's a recommendation by them as to as to the tweeter's proper relationship relative to the floor and the lister's ear. If you have the room simply moving the speaker further away from you to improve the tweeter's line of site to your ears and as @larryi says " That often does the trick and it is a cheap fix". You might also look at how you're seated position corresponds to your ears distance to floor and how the relates relative to the tweeter's axis. Maybe your seat is too high. A height adjustment if the chair provides one or find another piece of furniture around the house that's more suitable. |
