Proac Rake angle?


With the D48r, and my current listening chair, with the speakers perfectly level, my ear is at the top of the surround of the top woofer, instead of tweeter level.  I'm assuming that this is not allowing me to get the best tone and image out of these speakers.  I have some outriggers on the way that will allow me to adjust the rake angle more easily.  But I'm not sure if tilting this speaker back to get the tweeter to fire my ear will actually be completely beneficial.  Would this skew the crossover alignment?  Would I be better off trying to find a chair to get lower? Any experience?

Try replacing the stock jumper bars with a jumper made from the Synergistic cable you are using, if you have not already done that. Replacing the bar with a jumper made from the same cable made a positive difference in my system.
+1 for Jperry's comment above - jumper bars are probably the worst thing to use - I always use speaker wire the same as the speaker cables.

If you have store bought cables then get some quality wire from a company like Van den Hul or DH Labs. They both use great quality copper

Agree with Jperry as well. I replaced the jumper bars on my D-30R
with Clear Day Cables jumpers and the difference was noticeable.
Probably didn't hurt that I'm using Clear Day cables too.
Replaced replaced the jumper bars since day one.  My shop gave me 4 small scraps of proac cable to use.  Even from day one it was noticeable.  :-)
