Islander Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 I'm using a pair of Heresy IIs for surround in my system. They're located up high near the back wall, one on top of a bookcase. When I toed them in toward the listening position, the volume went up by about 3dB and the treble response was much better. However, they're still horizontal. I'm wondering whether it would work if I mounted the speakers on risers, but with the risers backwards, so the speakers were aimed down towards the sweet spot. First, would the risers fit that way, and just as important, would they be stable, or would the speakers be tippy due to being front-heavy? A speaker bouncing off my head during an explosion scene would be way more impact than I'd be looking for... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groomlakearea51 Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 Pat, that should work just fine. They are stable. Before you stick a pair on, put a book under the rear and tilt them; you may not want 2 inches, maybe only 1.5, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Islander Posted January 27, 2008 Author Share Posted January 27, 2008 Hmm, books? Maybe I will try that. Thanks, Groom! And one speaker is on a bookcase. Talk about overlooking the obvious! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flannj Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 Works just fine. Did it to my Heresy III's. Look here http://forums.klipsch.com/forums/thread/862433.aspx Sorry about the look of my post but the current forum "upgrade" sucks if you use a mac.

DrWho Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 Relatively speaking, they're not as stable as when the risers are mounted the normal way, but I had no problems running a center channel that way for a few years at my parents' place. I think I'd be more worried about the stability of anything heavy sitting on top of a bookcase...??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
