That's what I did and wrote about--stands shorter than Arcicis with a tilt. Or perhaps I am not following your question?
Thanks for your contribution.

Doesn't look like much or any tilt on the pic
The front casters are 3/4 inch higher than the rear ones. If you look at the picture the front casters are attached to two thicknesses of 3/4 plywood and there's a cut-out in the rear corners so that the rear casters are attached to only one thickness of 3/4 inch plywood. I know it doesn't look like much of a tilt, but it aims the center of the speaker exactly to the center of my ear when sitting in my usual listening position. Remember too, please, that the camera will distort angles slightly perhaps lessening the appearance of tilt-back in the speakers.
How did I determine this? I placed a 48 inch aluminum rule against my listening chair where my ear would be and marked that spot with some blue tape. I then cut a flat sheet of cardboard to the exact height of the panel section of the quads with a line drawn perpendicular to the speaker panel's vertical center. I put material under the front casters and sighted along that perpendicular line until it pointed exactly at the little blue tape marker on the rule. 3/4 inch of front caster prop-up did the job!
