Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

RE: Vandersteen Quatros on an unlevel carpeted floor.

Ah, OK, that's a method for getting the tilt right for each speaker. I already do something similar.

I also want to get the speakers at the same height relative to each other and the listening location on my uneven carpet, but perhaps this shouldn't matter?

The way I do tilt now uses a steel tape measure and a laser level. I extend the tape measure from the floor behind the listening chair and lock it, so that the tape sticks up above the center of the chair back, then adjust the speakers so that the laser level lines projected from the top of each speaker are at the same height on the tape measure.

Still, even with an exact match, the center-right soundstage was not filling in properly. I think this is because of the height mismatch. Thus my attempts to raise the height of the right speaker as much as I could with the washers on the cone threads.
