Hmm, that's interesting -- while walking back and forth a couple of times between computer and living room I noticed the speakers sounded kinda harsh when I was standing in front of them but sounded much smoother when I was sitting in a normal listening position.

First thought was that it was not an "off axis" thing but just a consequence of reflections from windows or walls -- when I'm standing my ears are higher so the first reflection point treatments are no longer effective -- but the difference in sound is sufficiently similar to what I experienced before tilting the speakers back that I remain a bit suspicious.

Anyways, when set up "correctly" they sound awesome, so maybe I'll stop thinking about it for now and look into enjoying our first day of summer instead.
