Speaker Height - Is is really important
My current speakers are approx 950mm (37") tall which places the tweeter at ear level when seated however I am looking to replace them as they are too bright for my taste - so here's my question:
Is it really important for the tweeter to be at ear level if my usage is 75% Home Theater, 25% Music and when we listen to music it is normally whilst walking around doing housework.
I can pick up 2 x Wharfedale Diamond 7.3's, 2 x Diamond 7.1's and a Diamond Centre for $550 Australian. I know they are an older series, but they get good reviews and sound much warmer which will better suit my Sony receiver - the fact I get the 7.1's and centre included is a bonus.
The issue is the 7.3's are approx 800mm tall which will place the tweeters approx 150mm (6") below ear level.
My only other option is to wait a while longer and get 2 x Wharfedale Diamond 8.4's which are 900mm tall for approx $900 AU.
Thoughts anyone...
