jcmusic Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 How many of you are using some type of risers with your Forte' s, and other smaller speakers? Jay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators dtel Posted February 8, 2007 Moderators Share Posted February 8, 2007 Because of where I put them I took off the risers that came with them. None of mine are on the floor, all are on shelves or on top of an entertainment center, or hung from the back wall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcmusic Posted February 9, 2007 Author Share Posted February 9, 2007 dtel my bad, I have those I was thinking of a design where the front is pointed up higher than the rear. You know on a slant like a wedge, thanks just the same. Jay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WMcD Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 I have the Quartets on 16 inch tall risers. They are the same plan view as the speakers and I built a larger base plate to prevent tipping and carpet dimples. The Qs are terrific. But they are short and thus the mid and tweeter not quite at ear level for normal seating. Tilting didn't quite appeal to me. Gil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colterphoto1 Posted February 10, 2007 Share Posted February 10, 2007 My Forte II's seem to be a good natural height with the 'built in' riser bases without adding anything additional. The tweeters are not but a foot or so below ear height when seated. I like the bass with them on the floor as intended. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
