Vandersteen 2CE Sigs tweeter too high

I screwed my front feet down then adjusted the speakers flat using the back foot. I found this allignment deteriorated the sound in my room--high and midrange details became blurred--so I've been notching it up a bit at a time. Even a quarter bubble on my torpedo level created way better detail. Do you think it might have to do with my sloped ceiling?

Vandersteen speakers are not intended to be level or tilted forward, nor should they be lowered and run without their spikes. Read the manual and follow the detailed tilt instructions necessary for achieving proper time alignment of the drivers.

There is a chart in the manual that will tell you exactly how much tilt to have for your seating distance and chair height. If you are going to ignore these instructions then know that too much tilt-back is better than not enough. Definitely do not tilt forward.

I'm a Vandersteen dealer.

clarification: I did tilt the speakers back, not forward (I'm not that dense). And I did read the instructions and follow their guidelines. I'm just fooling around with placement and adjustments in hopes of finding a golden locus point for my particular room. Can't a guy tweek fer cryin out loud!?

Rosedanny,
Be thankful that your speakers have instructions on how to perfectly time align the drivers. Take advantage of it. Time alignment of the drivers is the first parameter you should adjust. After that you can mess with toe, speaker placement, etc. If you mess with speaker placement, you will have to readjust the tilt to get the time alignment right.

You can tweak, but for goodness' sake, make sure the time alignment of the drivers is correct :) I doubt you can improve anything by having the drivers "out of" time alignment.

Amusing how one can be confident that the designer made "errors" when it comes to tweeter height, tilt back adjustment, dedicated stands providing adjustable tiltback, etc., when Richard Vandersteen has refined this model for over twenty years and the model is recognized as an industry and consumer success. But then what does Vandersteen know?
