Agree that ceilings likely a problem. Since I have been trying tweeters that have very little vertical dispersion (AMT) I'm now aiming to deal with what's overhead and in front. I've done the mirrors and laser pointer thing. Thanks for your reply. Very interested in Ascend Acoustics Sierra-2 line, but worry a tower is too much, regardless of tweeter type.
@audioconnection Thanks. Vandys are on my list. Just hard to get an audition. Same with many other speakers people mention.
@ djones51 I'd consider a minidsp but am hoping to keep things simple. Still, good to have a backup plan. Thanks.
@ baylinor Just measured it. 6.5 ft. Old bungalow basement. Not sure a tower can work, even with RAAL tweeters.
@audioguy85 I've not tried or auditioned wharfedales because of local availability. I'm not "fixated" on aggressive treble. I am learning. My process has been to try speakers which have a number of qualities I am looking for and one of those is detail. Reviews of what I have tried have said good things about their treble. I'm discovering that my situation possesses some factors which are making them aggressive. That said, I'm open to Wharfedales and appreciate your suggestion.
@electroslacker
I'll be curious if the specific type of beryllium tweeter in these speakers is implemented in a way that makes them bright. I've learned that certain judgments about the material of a tweeter can not tell the whole story; not only are there different ways of using beryllium, there are different ways of designing a beryllium (or any other kind) of tweeter.
@mapman
I've played with toe-in. I'll try lower stands for the monitors if they're bright. Right now, the brightness is a problem with towers. I've played a lot with the Fritz, but will again. If your suggestions can change them toward more detail in that upper end, that would be optimal, but I've had them in virtually every position, so…
