Proac 3.8 Owners


I've been doing some preliminary research on Proac 3.8 speakers and can't find any information on optimum listening height for this speaker. The tweeter is located at about 44" (speaker height is 49" on spikes), but my preferred listening position height is more like 34-36"-- hey, I'm a slouch.

I've called two dealers, including the USA importer, and all were puzzled-- in fact had never thought about it. Does anyone have any info. on this? Maybe listening height is not important with the 3.8s? My Vand. 3As are adjustable for listening height by tilting the speaker forward or back with adjustable spikes-- can the 3.8s be tilted? But then 3As have 1st order crossovers and optimum listening height is important. I see the 3.8s have 3rd order crossovers. I'm hundreds of miles from nearest dealer, thus the questions/research at this point. Thanks. Craig

garfish: have you ever seen those chairs that lifeguards sit/rest on at public beaches in california? you really need one. hope it fits in your listening enviroment. if not, you can move everything outdoors, unless it rains. or snows. or gets too cold. or blows down your tent. -kelly
Listening further back /better than going outside.Finding the focal point within the room seems to be the ans. I doubt they only sell them to 7 foot people.
With 2.5's the spikes allow for some degree of tilt adjustment. I suspect the 3.8's would as well/
