Not enough tilt
The first diagram illustrates the situation when the speaker is aimed exactly at the ears. In
this case, each panel is aimed 3° above or below straight at the ears. This causes some
response droop in the top octave, but otherwise the curve is pretty flat.
Because the droop is simply due to aperture effect, there is no impact on phase, so if you
are someone without much hearing sensitivity above 15 kHz, there would be little point
in further adjustment if the speakers arrived this way, which they generally won't, because
we ship them with a typically ideal amount of front foot elevation.
