Just kidding.Usually the speaker's tweeter needs to be located
in a range from 6 inches higher, to 6 inches lower,
than your ears.If the tweeter is too bright, the speakers may sound better even lower or higher than that range (maybe with the enclosure aimed down somewhat if they are higher, or aimed up somewhat if they are lower).
Another variable is how close you sit to the speakers --
air is a good treble absorber so sitting 6 feet away leads to treble significantly brighter than 12 feet away.Experiment with a stack of cinder blocks or books before you decide
to buy stands. I think speaker stand height should be adjustable (but what do I know?).
