My speakers used to be perfectly level and symmetrically positioned. One day I did a "what if".

Keep in mind my ESL63's are infamous for beaming, and my room is not perfect.

The best SQ for me was having neither speaker level, dissimilar toe-ins, unequal distance from back and side walls. Pretty much as unorthodox as you can get.

But I wouldn't have known if I hadn't of tried.

So there you have it. Remember not to force yourself to think they should sound better being level.

Let your ears be the final judge.

Cheers!
