I'll give it a try with the Spectrum 208A's in the same position in my shop. They already sing.
Bookshelf speaker fix
This is a problem that us probably unique to me but maybe someone else with bad speaker placement on shelves for example, it might help. I have a book shelf situation wherein stands are not possible.
I have a setup in my shop and my speakers sit on a 2 foot by 8 foot very sturdy shelf about maximum a foot from the back wall. So I sit too low on the speakers. I have tried to compensate by tilting the speakers from the rear with some positive effect. These are Elac Debut 62 by the way, with a Schiit front end. I was getting muddle and the speakers just didn't sing in spite of good equipment fronting them. So I turned the speakers up side down. The teeter on the bottom then was even with my eyes. The bass tightened and improved in tone and character and the High end is really nice. The speakers perform well, disappear and I don't detect any negative room effects. The speakers sit on four decouopler biscuits each about one inch off the deck..
Not sure how this will work for some other people. There are some speakers that have the tweeter on the bottom like the Burkhardt 400s and Tekton Mini Lore Monitor (?) Just something to play with along with toe in and supports.
Your mileage may vary and objects in the mirror are larger than they appear.
