How high is your tweeter?

[swegyptian]

So, a few months ago I got some new speaker stands for some rather small speakers that I have in my office. The tweeters are now perhaps 2 or 3 inches above ear level, which is about 12 inches higher than they were. It seemed to make huge difference to the whole setup. Of course it's pretty easy to change stands, but what happens when your floor-stander is a bit on the short side? Risers or something?

That's a little personal ! [:$]

Oh that tweeter, some are about 4' high and the other set is at about 5' because there setting on other speakers.

If you have adjustable feet or spikes you can always incline them up or down to get them pointing in the correct place.

Pretty high.

You will have to test out different heights for your towers and once you've determined the best position and height, figure out what's going to work out best aesthetically and functionally.

48 (left corner bottom), 68 (left corner top), 34 (left center bottom), 44 (left center top), right side same, respectively

In a two way system the tweeter would normally go at ear level, but if the system is a little bright you can move them up a bit. You can also adjust your chair to match the new height, you said in your office right?

Thanx, Russ

Your post made me look, but my Khorns mid/high are exactly at ear level as I sit in my listening position.
