how about turning the speakers upside down, the i wont need to tilt them. just adjust for the right height |

Avoid any obstacles. Give them as much free space as possible. |

Thomas, for large speakers is there a minimum distance you would try and set between the speaker and the listening position. Something like Dynaudio M3s for example? This is slightly following from comments made by a loudspeaker company representative at a seminar recently. |

Thomas could you explain the reasons for not having the speakers up side down. And is thre any studio that have big speakers that only tilt 5 degrees and have a big console and don´t have any obstacles in the way. i´m now down to 7 degrees I dont have that extra 90cm for the 5 degrees(see pic) Vladi |

Thomas, Two things. First, it's easy to demonstrate this affect by simply tilting you're head down. HF goes up, for me at least. |

Second, I use PMC MB1 XBD floor standing monitors. For proper time alignment (which is easy to verify with pink noise and a bit of head bobbing), PMC specifies that the mid driver be at a 10 degree angle up from the listeners ears. At first I found this a bit strange as the image is slightly elevated, but now I find it completely normal. Imaging is outstanding. What are your thoughts on their approach? Have you every used either the MB1/2 or BB5 in an installation? Thanks, GR |

IIRC they ask this because the speakers aren't time aligned.. |

Actually, they are time aligned to accommodate their floor standing design. The positioning instructions are very specific. GR |

the position of the drivers has been calculated to be aligned only when the mids are positioned at 10 |
