Adjusting for Tweeter height with monitors


This may be a dumb question but how do you guys go about making sure your ears and tweeters are properly aligned?  After all, stands only come in a few sizes. Do you use height-adjustable chairs? 

I have to raise my Silverline monitors high enough to ensure the woofers clear obstructing furniture and in so doing, the tweeters end up about 4 inches higher than ear-level, when seated, which has a negative sonic effect. Rising up out of my chair a few inches, the sound is much better. My wife has volunteered to make me a tall seat cushion to compensate but this makes me wonder how others approach this.

Have you tried removing the grills for the times when you are critically listening. From what I see your speakers were meant to be at the height they are at, so you may need to add a Super Tweeter if you want more air and sparkle to your highs. Quality super tweeters can add significantly to the price of your speakers so you may have to spend a significant amount for an upgrade for sound quality. It will not affect any of the sound quality that you already like about your speakers, but it will boost what you are not getting from your tweeters, and it may improve your midrange quality also. But most of the time it's well worth it in the end result. With speakers like yours usually that is the next step for better sound quality. And the best thing about it is it sits directly on top of your speaker in the front center of the cabinet, and you can angle it in any direction. One to mention that is in a lower price range of its top model that has all of the Great Sound you're looking for is the... PST Magnetic Ribbon Super Tweeter, priced at around $399 for the pair. I know that sounds like a lot but the top model is around $1,000 foe the pair. But you can get similar results from this model. keep in mind that they look good and Sound even BETTER and are well worth it if you can afford them. Understand by no means do you have to choose the one that I have recommended because they have many you can choose form. Google it and you will find something you may like. Believe me it becomes a significant improvement in sound when your speaker tweeters cannot reach your ears. Also, they are HIGH QUALITY!

I hope that info will help.

Google... APERION AUDIO PST MKII Planar Ribbon Super Twitter, $399 to 1,500. The base model will get the job done and you will not have to approach anywhere near the $1,500 for the same results.

Be careful if you do choose to tilt the speakers.  Most of the weight is on the front baffle so aiming them downwards could make them tippy.

Get a new infinity irs v no matter where you are it's there.yoga,jumping Jack's, head stands ,grandkids dog piling you whatever.thats why I like proper line arrays that don't comb as I'm losing my hair.i get it some don't have 90 inch tall cealings.this is a great thread lots of good advice. Some might take a laser tape it to top of speaker and aim it at listening space.just a thought.ever wounder why dsp has you put the mic at ear level.? Enjoy the science

Tweeters a few inches too low?
 

The French in the past often used a bespoke device that could possibly be modified, to slice a few inches off your neck.
