Proac 3.8 Owners

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/

Thanks for the 4 minuses....whomever.Feel better?? With a class A rating on these speakers,I would assume this is a "perceived " problem.While I'm not a 3.8 owner; I had a serious interest in a pair,at a local shop.I read the review Jan /00. Tweeter hight wasn't mentioned as a problem.The "down- side" for me, w/A.10ts would be "perceived" as loss of bass slam. Whenever we change "pieces" we go thru this/ (what trade offs.) As far as speakers / price,and range of quality,I'm in the boat with you Craig.As far as auditioning /this place doesn't have a tube amp to demo them with.I won't listen with solid state,so they might as well be 300 miles away,and I won't lug 200lbs of monos for the test. I just want to zero in on something with zero down side compromises, before hand. The reality is I "might" love these in my living-room There are so many choices in that price range,and so many opinions on all of them.As far as "loss of slam" the review hints that way/and "it" is mentioned in a couple of threads,right here.( calling them "great classical music speakers) email me if you like and we might compare notes and prices,and other choices.Even tho this post is longer its message is the same___Tweeter hight, I doubt, is a real issue.

Comcherry; thanks for the info. re: tilting on the 2.5s, I'll look into it further. Avguy; at least temporarily, I brought your rating back to zero for your first post here-- can't understand why you'd get negs for that? I suspect you're right, the listening height thing of 3.8s may be just a "perceived" problem by us audiogeeks. Altho' LG in his STPH review did set his listening ht. at tweeter ht.-- but then he's an audiogeek too. Cornfed; lifeguard chair good idea-- in southern Calif:>) Thanks, and Cheers. Craig

I just heard the 3.8s at the Montreal show, powered by Moon amps and MIT wires, in a pretty big room. My impression of the sound was that was powerful but somewhat "dark" sounding, meaning not very crisp and lively, more syrupy. I venture to implicate the MIT wires in the darkness (?) and perhaps the Roger Waters recording.
I thought I'd mention this just as my 2c and also as a suggestion that it might be important to be able to listen at the tweeter level to mitigate a dark perceived balance (as usual system and room matching important as well).
