I liked them about 6" off axis from my ears. I also liked them more when my ears were level with the woofer.
My ears sit a bit higher than most people when listening. I’m 6’ 3” and sit kinda high up in the wheelchair compared to an able bodied person sitting lower in a recliner or on a couch.
I will keep adjusting as best I can to get great results.
These speakers look fantastic. The finish is smooth as glass. They had some smudges and spots on them when they got here but I used Über rinseless car wash, mixed with distilled water, applied with a Chemical Guys microfiber towel.
Wondering if any of the past owners put a coat of auto wax on these? @vcwatkins@kharp1 Perhaps the original owner Craig got them from on eBay?
I talked to Dave @daboyz and he just used a damp cloth.
I bought them used in South Carolina. Don't think the original owner did anything. I generally use a dry microfiber cloth. It's possible I used a bit of the Gibson guitar polish; not certain.
My preferred placement was a bit wider than usual (probably close to an equilateral triangle) and toed in to a few degrees outside of direct line (a few feet behind listener's noggin). I did not try adjusting up/down and never got around to adding weight.
Nice rig, enjoy!

That's a wonderful product, especially on the piano black found on the LSI lineup.

Not to be confused with Pimp Oil. Your car could be clean and detailed but it wasn't complete until you applied some Pimp Oil.
This hurts my head... What little OCD I have is jamming an ice pick into my eyes for looking at that pic. The words "fire hazard", and "not to code" come to mind.

Saying that it's "too hard" to pursue your dreams is no different than admitting to yourself that you are too lazy to achieve them.
