Rock, it wouldn't. The dispersion of the M22s' tweeters is sufficiently good that a few inches difference in elevation shouldn't matter. You can still experiment if you wish. . .

I don't think you will see a lot of difference between "tweeters at ear height" and "tweeters 8" below ear height". I personally like tweeters to be a bit above ear height but that seems to be a minority view.

That said...

1. Looks like the only difference between FMS-16 and -24 is the length of the tube, so you might be able to work something out with Axiom.

2. You could probably replace the base with some kind of small (but heavy) open-at-the-front box which could double as a holder for magazines, sheet music or something similar.

A sufficiently heavy box plus a bracket-thing that screws into the tapped hole on the back of the M22 could make the combination pretty daughter-proof.

Got to be a handy man. But that is something I could think about:)

I did a bit more trial & error stuff tonight; put the M3v4's upside-down on top of the M60's, so ~39" stand. Thought that was a couple of inches too high for my liking.

I'm about 6" taller than you, so subtracting that plus a couple of inches for "inverted" plus a couple of inches for "a bit too high" suggests that in your situation I would want stands around 29" tall, so lots of room for building up the base.

Music under test was Mike Oldfield's Tubular Bells, Jacqui Naylor's Live East West, and Supertramp's Crime of the Century. Damn, I forgot how good Crime of the Century sounds, going back to listen some more.

If you want to be a handyman without actually investing time / effort / money, look into the Kreg pocket hole jig. It's sort of like cheating but nobody complains if you get caught.

For now I sit on a lower chair/stood and haven't heard much differences yet. I think the bigger issue for my situation is actually the open room with too much furniture and not enough carpets/curtains.

Do you know where I could get some beautiful and wife acceptable wall decoration which could be hanged on wall to absorb sound? That would make some significant impact I guess. Thx.

One of the members here made some stunningly beautiful absorber panels; don't remember who but hopefully someone will.

EDIT - might have been nickbuol:

4th post in this thread

nickbuol showing off panels

I think at least one other forum member made up some artwork-covered panels but no longer sure.

BTW if you have kids planned or happening here's another tip that might help sell your wife on the idea:

Quote:
The acoustic treatments made a big difference in this room. There is still a bit of liveliness to the room, it's not completely dead, but it very controlled and sounds very good. In fact when the baby is having a melt down we typically take him to the theater because it's easier on the ears than our still barren walls in the main living areas.
