Speaker Placement - Frequent Placement Changes?

Good stuff @elliottbnewcombjr. My guesstimate of speakers crossing between 24” - 36” was off from your 48”. How much have you played around with rake/tilt? 

I had my Tannoys tilted back pretty far (almost 2 degrees) using thread extenders with my IsoAcoustics Gaia when utilizing extreme toe-in. I have since moved back with more traditional toe-in with the axis crossing 12” behind me, but didn’t change the tilt. I can’t remember if it was tcutter or someone else, but they had suggested keeping tilt and toe-in equal. Because of this, I reduced the tilt which seemed to help with the phantom center cohesiveness. 

Interesting nonetheless @elliottbnewcombjr, and greatly appreciate the pictures which aid in understanding! 

Tilt Back

1st. issue is aiming the tweeter's narrower wavelengths directly at the listener(s) seated ear height

2nd issue is altering the angle of reflection of the drivers with wider wavelengths

3rd issue is physical time alignment of the face of the drivers themselves

and toe-in alters the reflections off the side walls of course.

Having a dedicated sound room is a blessing, and I apologize to anyone who does not. I use a high-quality and very comfortable office chair, which the back comes up slightly higher than my shoulders, below my ears. I have a vinyl runner so I may move the chair forward or back, which for me, depends on the recording. I sit far from the rear wall and prefer near-field listening. My best, MrD.
