OP:
Each issue has it’s own fix. Speakers often have adjustable speaker feet/spikes which can be used, as well as speaker stands with adjustable feet.
Level the floor
We've just moved. The audio playpen is the basement, which has an issue I haven't dealt with before: uneven floor. Left-right is level, but front to back there's a steep slope. At a distance of 18 inches, the slope is about one inch.
I figure others have dealt with this enough that there's "a way" (or an eternal argument...). Educate me?
Available equipment would be fine; surprise uses of stuff would be terrific.
Thanks.
mrj OPI was assuming the speakers would be forward from the back wall, to place them on the very gradual portion of the floor. Thus, shims ought to work. In any case, I believe speakers should be tilted back so that the tweeters are aimed at seated ear level. This will involve tilting, usually accomplished by a block or riser in the front. In my case, concealed by the lower ’skirt’ I have attached a 1-1/2" block in the front, the 2 front wheels attach to it, thus the rear single wheel, with no block, keeps the rear of the speaker 1-1/2" lower. Blurred, hard to see, bottom of image Easier to see, 9th photo here, as well as the speakers in-place tilted https://www.audiogon.com/systems/9511 My heavy speakers can be on wheels, lighter speakers can be on ’skid’ plates, allowing alternate toe-ins
