Recently I swapped my speaker stands with a pair of taller ones so I can put my CD cabinet below the speakers. This made the tweeters to be at my ear level and noticed an improvement on soundstage.

Distance from floor to ear of an average adult male sitting on an average height chair is around 48 inches. Most of floor standing speakers are 40 inches tall or less and the location of tweeters on them are a few inches below that. Also, those speakers don’t come with height adjustable feet or tilt up brackets of any sort. What do you gunslingers make of this? Is this a design flaw of many floor standing speaker manufacturers or the height (alignment) is not much of an issue?
