speaker heights on the B&W floorstanders

[BlazeMaster]

Hi, I've noticed the tweeter heights on the 600s floorstanders are around 36 inches high at the most, which will be the optimum heights for me in my seating position. The 700s and 800s are all around 40inches and over which will make it a little higher for me. Is that going to be a problem for me since I can't vertically aligne them to my ears when sitting down? Why don't they make them all around the same height?
I really rather have the 804, but having the tweeter almost 5 inches higher than my ears....would I loose the incredible imaging?

My 804's are a bit higher than my ears, so using the adjustable feet, I have the front ones lower than the rear to compensate and aim it ever so slightly down to my ears.

It works for me and I did notice a difference, however slight.

I've actually found that aiming the midrange center bullet to my ears sounds best overall. The bass drivers contribute a significant amount of midrange and when blocked in any way, makes a hole in the sound. The tweeter's response is almost flat even 5 degrees off axis, so that if you aim the midrange to you, the tweeters response should for all intents and purposes be the same as if it was aimed at your ears. Past 5 degrees and it starts to go off. This is based on some stereophile charts I saw of the Nautilus tweeter response.

good idea GsamF. I think i'll give that a try when i get them.
