My room has the standard 8ft ceiling, and my listening position is 4ft high
(which I figure is also fairly common). As I understand it room nodes are
worst when the monitors are centered vertically. Due to space limitations I
need to have my monitors on my desk, which means I can't have them below the
center mark (early reflections caused by the desk). The only alternative I
can see is to raise them 1.5 to 2 feet above ear level and angle them
downwards towards mix position. I'm kind of nervous about the fact that I've
never seen a picture of such a setup. Is this really the best way to go?
Loads of setups have them at ear level, so is there not really much to be
gained by getting them out of the center - or are people just oblivious?
