When I got my 1.7s, I set them up with both spacers to give the a slight backward tilt. I'm wondering if anyone has experimented with using 2, 1, or none...and what, if any effect it has on soundstage, imaging, etc.
Let us know what you think with the different spacers. Also interested in this topic but haven't experimented. I think it will be dependant on distance between listening chair and the speakers.
Unfortunately, I sit in 2 different chairs in the room so will need to compromise.
Start with all 4 per speaker and experiment with the 1.5 ohm supplied resistors in place, tweeters on the inside. Move speakers back or forward maintaining arc for tweeter alignment and adjust for best in room response and soundstage. Cheers JohnnyR
Forward tilt. I actually put coasters under mine. Once you get them setup it's easy to hear the sweet spot versus non sweet spot. Just standing up out of my listening chair is noticeable. Then again they sound great in the next room too. I don't use the resistors and I have a hard wood floor. If you have carpet I'd say they're not needed. Try without first.
