    ^^^ is one of those folks you, @OleBoot? The image is kinda small for these presbyopic eyes. :/

    In other haunted hifi news.
    Now, I am not a JBL maven, but is it common and normal for vintage JBL monitors to include grinning death heads as part of their internal damping scheme?

    Actually, pretend I never posted that :p The lion GIF, no kidding, was transiently -replaced by a photo of two happy looking people who seemed to be enjoying some conviviality on a street someplace. It's back to the lion GIF now... honest! :/

    I wish I could post this flat outright but I tried and failed. I have said I have brain farts once in a while. This pertains to that but in a sort-of funny way with a squirrel pic.. :D

    With large/tall tower speakers, is it a problem that a lot of the time the tweeter is going to be well above ear level when you're seated in front of them?

    Well, it depends on the dispersion of the tweeter -- more to the point, of the whole loudspeaker system.

    Some tweeters sound best from another room --- or maybe even in someone else's house. The venerable Electrovoice T35 fairly leaps to mind. :)

    Tom Brennan famously quipped that the best positioning for Klipsch Heresys is face down, and ideally in a different room or domicile than that of their hapless owner.

    As Mark suggested, depends on the dispersion pattern. A simple fix, if it bothers you, is to tilt the speaker forward by raising the back end an inch or 2 and see if that helps.

    There's a tasteless joke in there someplace -- but, since you're a newb and all, I'll resist the temptation.
