The tweeters should roughly be on ear level when seated. If they are above ear level then the designer has compensated for this in his design. I can't see how raising them will increase the sound stage but you can try it and see if you like it. Pierre S. at Mapleshade likes to place the speakers on the floor and angle them up; makes them sound strange to me but some like it. This is one of those things you have to try for yourself.
Will increasing speaker height increase Soundstage
Recently at the CES show I was comparing the Wilson Sasha and Maxx 3 speakers. I noticed that the Maxx speakers produced the vertical axis of the music at around 5-6' high. The height that most musicians would stand. The Sasha's placed them at around 4'. Would raising the smaller speaker increase the height of the vocals? If so what would be the draw back? If base is reduced wouldn't subs fix it? These questions take into consideration time delays of the midrange and tweeter and as such I would increase the angle of the raised speakers upper module to focus waves to ear height.
