Green mountain audio eos hx tweeter distance question

I lost my setup manual for the EOS tweeter distance so was wondering if anyone recalls the recommended tweeter distance to faceplate that Roy recommended if seated approximately 8 feet away.  I believe it stated something like 2 5/8 inches but was wondering if anyone knew.  I just moved my speakers and the tweeters moved so don't recall the distance I had them set at and I preferred the setting that Roy stated in his manual.
I know I should also experiment on what sounds best but was wondering what Roy also recommended for best phase accuracy at 8 feet.

Thanks,
Marcello

Hi Marcello,Thanks so much for the detailed and informative response.  I am delighted you are so happy with the X5s, but am very distressed, because now I know I am going to have to give them a listen, as well.The fact that I could get rid of the subs I have running with my Eos just adds to their appeal.Best,Chris

Sure.  This hobby is a difficult one since it seems we are always looking for the next upgrade and really never 100% happy.  I've updated most of my equipment over the years except for my Pathos twin towers integrated which I've had now for a little over 20 years and it still sounds excellent so no need for me to upgrade that yet until it breaks.  It's only 30 watts per channel but I've always used more efficient speakers so no issues in terms of power.  The X5s are 97 db efficient and 8 ohms so very easy to drive.
As I mentioned the EOS are superb monitors but do need subs to sound full range.  
Good luck and try to at least give the X5s a listen.
