Speaker Tilt Back benefits?

Some speakers have tweeters below the woofer, and some (MTM) have the tweeter in between two woofers.

Tilting speakers back reduces the LF bounce off the floor. It also discourages people from setting drink glasses down on the top.

What sounds better will largely depend on your room acoustics, listening position and the vertical dispersion pattern of the speaker. There is no "rule of thumb" for this....just experiment. If a slight tilt makes a significant difference then this would indicate a problem somewhere....either room acoustics or the speaker. In this case, you may want to try to fix the root cause....

This may sound crazy, but I've got the Virgo II's little brother, the Spark. I have used a different approach in my room. I listen about 6ft from ear to midwoof, and 8ft apart, so I'm in the nearfield. Anyway, the soundstage depth is so good-it starts at the plane of the mains and goes back from there. I actually tip the speakers forward, not back and it seems to increase the height of the stage. Obviously YMMV, but I swear I've seen this in pics under member systems where a fellow had the Virgo II's tipped forward, so I have a feeling I'm not the only one doing this. Hope this is some help, don't mean to confuse, just explaining my results. -Fish
