Wow , I must have missed something censorship ! trolls !
One of the best things about this tread is the intelligence of the conversations and advise ( not like power cords or outlet treads ).
I remembered a post about 40 pages ago where
the conversation was about sitting / ear height , at the same time there has been some talk about the importance of convergence .
Being newly retired and having a boring day I thought I'd try a little experiment , my 2.7 speakers have the 2.4SE spikes so they can penetrate the carpet .
I stared with putting floor disc/savers under the rear spikes raising the rear about 1/2 inch , the sound was like a line from speaker to speaker,
no height or depth and thin on bass.
Removing the discs and raising the rear spikes
about 1/4 inch the sound was now like an oval and still thin on bass ,
Next at 1/8 inch still an oval with a little more height and depth but like an oval the outside was thin , bass was still on the light side .
With the spikes screwed into the speakers as tight as they could go
the soundstage now was fully extending to the outside of the speakers ,
the height and depth from floor to ceiling and from front wall to the middle of the speakers .
Point being even an 1/8th of an inch can make a large difference in the listening experience , plus I could do all of this for free ,
not like the tube rolling I've been doing with my phono pre-amp .
Happy Holidays to All and to All a Good Saturday
