robc1976 Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 When I place my speakers I put a piece of tape on the cabinet (on the side ) where the middle of the tweeter would be and use a laser to see where the middle of the tweeter is directed (height) and try to get the middle of the tweeter to be at ear level. So for "height speakers" I angle them down so the tweeter is at angle where it will be at ear level when you put a horizontal laser on it. floorstanding speakers you are pretty much stuck wth where they are LOL!! Do you guys think this correct or should the middle of the tweeter be a bit lower since the farther away you are the more the sound cone expands?? It may be a bit excessive but the money we all spend on these set-ups I think it is a small detail or adjustment that can be made to better the sound exspeacially with the center channel. Thanks for any oinions! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coytee Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 Thanks for any oinions! My grandfather used to say about someone "he really knows his onions" As to your question.... for me, it's too much detail. For others, they've done similar and love the results. I figure as long as I can see down the throat of the horns, I'm in the ballpark. [] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjcmt Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 That will work as long as you don't move your head an inch to the left of right, or slouch when listening, or invite someone to sit next to you... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[Y] Excatly, the tweeter does not beam than much, look at the flair on the tweeter, if you cut that flair in half your still covering a big area. You have the right idea pointing them to your ears, it does make a difference, but the general area is good, it doesn't need to be a pinpoint aim.

[] That's funny......if it was that close he may have to put some tape on "the'' seat, a butt alignment mark to make sure he is the exact spot. Just joking Robc, don't blame you for wanting the most from the speakers and your on the right track it's just not that precise. [Y] Although some people are that particular [8-)] for those who are ever thought about a chin brace so your head is in the perfect position every time, I'm surprised they don't sell one at the magic rocks and $3000 a foot speaker wire store, there slacking.
