Sound is better when I stand up?

My first thought was, if you like what you hear when you're sitting comfortably, legs crossed, or stretched out or whatever you do with them, cigar impedimenta easily to hand, and a little of what you fancy in your best crystal within reach, then, relax, enjoy the music, and . . . STOP STANDING UP!

Facetiousness aside, I think the effect is mostly one of difference. You're more used to the sound you hear when you're sitting down and so there is a novelty attached to what you hear standing up. I 've noticed that if I stand and walk toward my speakers it feels as if I'm walking into the music. This is a nice way of experiencing the holographic effect of a system, but I'm a lazy b**** and much prefer sitting comfortably.

Get a swivel barrel chair...and sit on a pillow.....Works for me.

Your tweeters should be within 1-2 inches of your ears ,depending too what type f speakers, drivers, wave guides, compression drivers many variables.

the first thing you should mention is the speaker brand , and tweeter,driver type 

you have very low ceilings meaning very reflective unless you have ample room treatment .

Hi all!

Cool. Let's recap:

@audioman58 I did mention the brand - Reference 3A MM Gen 2. Stock tweeters; I have ceiling corner foam triangle baffles but am now considering some ceiling  hanging foam frames

@mbmi swivel chairs. Huh. Good point. 

@grauerbar You're right. I mean, how much listening do I do on my feet? I have no mantelpiece upon which to lean with my tumbler. 

@holmz Great picture of my wife's reaction whenever she sees a new piece of audio gear I hadn't told her about. 

@bigwave1 Yes, I can adjust my stands by adjusting the spike depth. Thank you for the suggestion. 

@avanti1960 I had the 3As toed in slightly and now have gone back to the recommended no toe in. That did make a positive difference in the sound. 

To those who mentioned the triangular distance, I have gone with something closer to 1-1.2 ratio, like @tomcarr ​​​​@clearthinker suggested. That helped, too. 

Can't give up the wingback, though. It's so comfortable.
