Vandersteen 5A Speakers

Lrsky you are correct for tilt chart we measure from face of speaker
((Can you explain further how measurements to the front and side walls are used when referring to the tilt chart?))
Excuse me I Meant the Grid chart in the owners manual for uniform in room response position.
As the grid shows mesuring from the middle of speakers to walls
RussB((How doses the angle of the speaker affect the tweeter response if the speakers sound a bit on the bright side????}}}
With more tilt back we change the angle of the tweeter, mid range, and bass drivers. this allows for a more precise transision/blend and will seem to smooth out the top.
Try listing to just one speaker if its brite
slouch down in your couch until its right
then adjust the speakers tilt back to be correct where you are at normal seating height.
Try a level laser pointer on top of the adjusted speaker pointing it behind your chair put a band aid on the wall where it lands now adjust the others speaker's tilt back to the same height so that both speakers hit the same mark.

Thanks Johnny for the expalination on the setting of the angle. I will recheck the angle of my current 3A's. I do notice that if I slouch down in my chair the left speaker is smoother on the top end. No trouble with the right.

Thanks

one other thing...
make sure the speakers are side to side level as well
placing a bubble level on top of the 3asigs and get them
exact even if you have to install an extra washer on one front side more than the other.

Thanks for the advice. I will check all my settings this weekend. Have a good one.

Wanted to thank everyone for there responce, and advice.

I checked all my settings this time using a laser level. I found that the left speaker was off in the tilt even though both speakers had the same amount of spacers installed. I feel this is because the floor is not the same on both sides. After I leveled both 3A's out and got the tilt set to match each other the sound stage has realy locked in, even the bass has improved. The top end is alot smoother still with detail. Centering of vocals is now dead center when the music calls for it to be. It is amzing how a few adjustments made a difference.

Thanks Again
Russ
