[QUOTE="Blues, post: 20405, member: 394"] just to clarify about tilting and toe in. the tilting back of the speaker, which shonver mentioned (you elevate the front of the speaker), can 'lift' the soundstage. the toe in, which is probably what capetonian meant, is aiming the tweeter towards your listening position. this can significantly reduce the degrading effect of early reflections and affects the focus of your soundstage. before you try any room-treatment, see what you can achieve with your speaker-placement. like you already found out, there is a lot to be gained. I ended up with a diagonal set up, after trying pretty much everything I could think of. this reduces early reflections quiet effectivly. I use a laser pointer and hold it right next to the tweeter, which gives a good idea where it's aiming, and makes it easier to have both speakers angled equal. I usually get best results when the laser beams cross around 0,5 - 1 m behind my head. if you don't have the space, then a similar distance in front of you might also work. the beam should obviously be at the hight of your ears at the listening position.
