Tweaking Your Speaker Placement

An 1/8 of an inch -- does that mean you have to keep your head in a vice?

Such precise placement of loudspeaker and listener should not effect tonality or dynamics, but it might provide some soundstage/imaging info on some specific recordings.  Possibly similar to adjusting VTA or SRA for individual records.

It doesn't hurt to try!

I adjust until they sound right... 

Man I HATED those IsoAcoustics - made it impossible to slightly adjust speakers lol.
 

I currently use IsoAcoustics and I must admit that slight adjustment are a complete pain. Using tape to mark previous positions and then using a towel underneath the isolation feet to move the speaker is a process. I think this is the greatest downside to using IsoAcoustics.

They are also on IsoAcoustic Gaia's, which don't really slide too well.

How do you do it? 

I just purchased some of these furniture gliders that I’m going to try and use underneath the IsoAcoustics vs using a towel. I’ve been playing around with placement quite a bit lately and these gliders seem like they would be handy.

I’d like to see a blind test where one speaker is moved 1/8 inch  (or not) and the person picks which speaker that was moved 

Kidding aside, yes, I think 1/8" increments is pretty severe, but I've done like 1/2"  and believed I could discern a sharpening of the sweet spot.
