I actually edited that paragraph out of my original post because I decided that it was a distraction. My speakers sound best that way. That's the way they were designed to be used, that's what the manufacturer recommends and that's the way they measure flattest. I've measured them in my room. Magazine and ezine measurements of speakers usually plot the frequency response at different points and make recomendations. Sometimes listening on the woofer axis or somewhere in between is best. Some speakers do sound better on lower stands tilted back a little. In fact, I think that my Harbeth Compact 7's sound better that way, but still with the tweeter on the same axis as my ears. I do think that most people have those speakers on stands that are too high, but they obvioucly disagree. I've tried that with the Monitor 30's and it wasn't as good.
Skylan, btw, will make speaker stands to whatever height you want with a built-in tilt to your specifications if that's what you want.
