Another thing I found, was that tweeter height above or below my ears, changes the sound a decent bit.
They seem to have a sweet spot that is fairly small on the vertical height.
Being about 4 inches OVER tweeter sounds different than being right on axis with the tweeter, and if anything, changes the sound maybe more than the EQ changes.
When I listened with ears 4 inches above, even at a fair distance, the sound improved markedly by raising speakers to ear height or even an inch above.
But the sound was not just more neutral, but quite a bit more spacious and almost holographic, and I hate to use flowery words.
Diana Krall was in the room versus singing at the end wall of my living room. At least as far as ambiance and an enveloping sound.
Tweeter height is EXTREMELY important with these speakers, in fact more so than most I have owned.
Erin comments about this on his site, and what made me modify my height to see if I agreed.
Takes the sound to a new level in my opinion, to sit at tweeter level, versus being a bit too high.
