Singer sounds lower than ear level, help raise it


My speakers are currently on stands and the tweeters are at ear level. But still i find that the sound of the singer comes from the center of the speakers but it is lower than my ears. Her mouth sound like its only 2 feet from the ground. Is there anyway to raise the focus of the singer higher? thanks

Turn the speakers upside down.
you know, I almost wrote a post yesterday (10/25/12) with the same advice!! ;-)
I looked at it a bit more & decided that it would not make sense because the tweeter is in the middle (with the midrange above & the woofer below). it would have made sense had the tweeter been the top-most. Then turning the speaker upside down would have made the speaker time-aligned & would have accounted for the various acoustical centers.
My advice was going to be to lower the speaker such that the midrange was at ear-level.
In a speaker system that has minimal phase distortion & where the drivers are placed tweeter-mid-woofer going from top-down, then the vocals should come from just below the midrange. In such a speaker this would end up being about mid-speaker.
The answer is simple and already mentioned tilt them back slightly. That's it so just try it....
I tried to near my speakers to 6 feet apart from current 8 feet, the vocals raised a bit. Will try 7 feet and 9 feet later.
My listening chair is 9 or 10 feet from the speakers.
I'm more keen to try tilting the speakers up and see what will happens, still trying to find something to slot under the front spikes.
Will update result.
Thank you for all the great advices.
You don't need to tilt them much and start with nickels then two nickels......
What amp are you using? Does it have RCA and XLR input? If yes, did you compare both? I experienced similar issue in my system. My amp, I VERY STRONGLY believe, is optimized for XLR. The moment I started using XLRS, I gained soundstage width and height. Good luck!
