This dilemma arises from placing a swivel rocker directly in line with the R front RT-7's path to the sweet spot. WAF of removing rocker = NO!

I've contemplated going with some 32" Transdeco TD32S stands to raise the L&R RT-7s by 8". But, hey $229 could go towards new TOWERS, couldn't it?

What would match the timbre of the RT-7's 1" tri-laminate tweeter? Current space for a Center channel favors a vertical alignment (big improvement over horizontal in old Ent Ctr).

WAF = must part w/old speakers upon purchase of new (won't be RT7s, but other basement relics :)).

HT:
Pioneer 6020FD
Pioneer SC-07 140W x 7
Polk RT-7 X 5
Velodyne CT-120
Pioneer BDP-52FD
Sony NC-85H
Wii


Room 11.5' X 18.5'
Center speaker clearance 28"H X 16"W
Center RT-7 on 10" plastic paint bucket
L&R RT-7s on 24" stands
Surround RT-7s on 64" columns in corners

Your opinions on raising the LR RT-7s vs new towers is appreciated. Our next house will have a larger HT room. 8<)
