Isn't it the height of your ears that counts, and not your speakers? Raising the speakers is mostly the same as lowering your ears. I seem to have learned that >50 years ago.
Follow Ups:
So what is the optimum ear height to the speakers? Mine are just about halfway up from the bottom of the 1.6's.
Project a laser beam at a 90 degree angle from dead centre of the tweeter at your listening seat, the laser beam should hit your ear's height. Maggie's don't sound better vertical as opposed to tilted, or vica-versa, it all come's down to dialing in your chair + Maggie's to achieve this. A higher sit might require some tilt, where as a lower sit would be fine with a vertical stance.
In the real world, there is a large margin before you start to notice you're out of the "sweet spot", but if you're anal about set-up, this is the way to go.
"Mine are just about halfway up from the bottom of the 1.6's"
In this situation, with the Maggies vertical, you're a bit off, the tweeters centre is slightly above the middle of the 1.6's.
You nailed it!
