I raised my Revel Salon 1's up about 4 inches onto very solid platforms and added about 2 degrees rake , it was not done to raise the sound stage , but it did seem to have that effect . The Sub woofer is built in wall , front , center and 2 feet from the ceiling , it definitely sounds best this way . Larger speakers usually have a bigger , taller sound stage .
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.
