Hi all,
I like to listen to music in bed and would like to have good (or at least fair) sound in my bedroom, which is very small. Due to lack of space, the speakers cannot be placed at the ideal height. The current plan is to put a pair of JBL A130 speakers in a high shelf (please see the attached images) and tilt them down so the tweeters point towards the head of the bed. That would mean tilting the speakers down some 35-38 degrees.
But I came across this:
"If you’re hell-bent on tilting your speakers toward the listening position, don’t angle them more than 15 degrees from vertical."

Should I take the above recommendation seriously? Why would it be so bad tilting the speakers down more than 15 degrees?
Thanks!
