There I go: first post. I've gone around a bit before posting and didn't really know where to open the thread, so if some of the Moderators deem it appropriate, please move onto a more fit sub-forum than this.

I have my Audio Note K positioned into my listening area as shown on these photos:

As you can see, I've turned the 'speakers upside down and tilted them a bit backwards, just so as to have the tweeters point approximately to my hearing devices.

This is so because the stands are a bit too high (these come from my previous monitors), and if sitting flat, the tweeter were pointing 20cms or so above ears line.

I only own the K's for a short time (first user, though) and still burning them in and getting used to their sound projection.

Questions: even though the 'speakers are quite forgiving, is the above configuration correct ? - I mean is it ok to exchange the bass and tweeter drivers positions ? - any issues -too- with tilting the K's backwards ?

Appreciate your comments and advice.
Thank you very much and regards,
AntonioJ

There should be no problem turning them upside down and tilting them. Did you try raisng/lowering the spikes on the front or back?

Hi Mark,
yes, I did: lowest for rears, highest for fronts. Besides, I added some rubber inert blobs on the front edge of the stands.

Tks!

My AN AZ 2's (http://www.audionote.co.uk/products/speakers/az-2_01.shtml) have the drivers up that way anyway, AZ 's sound very good for the price

What a beautiful room - And impressive CD collection!

If it was me I would get shorter stands and use the speakers the right way up. I've tried tilting back in the past and it throws up unintended consequences, although that might not be the case in your room.
