Wall mounted Era300s

Question

Hello,

I have a question in real life scenario, I couldn't mount the era300s as recommended in my lounge.

Hi,

Due to a new sofa, (missus not me) I couldn't use the speaker stands anymore .

Even worse I had to mount them 1.4m for for headroom clearance using sonos swivel mounts and locked

So, they're pretty high, I still got 2.5m clearance to the ceiling.

The new sofa is right up against the back wall, the era speakers have 12 inches clearance from side walls which I understand is a requirement too. .

Of course advanced trueplay has been done, i think the speakers are now a bit to high, and now they're mounted on the wall (a freshly reskimmed wall) I'll never be able to move them again without death from the missus.

I found the sound not to be quite as immersive since I was forced remove the stands & wall mount the era300s, would a slight angle on the speakers help, or will my ears just adjust over time?

Again the ashetics would look a bit daft with the era300s slightly angled.

Thanks

Dave.

That close to the side walls a bit of rotation to the center might open the sound-field up a bit.

At 2.5 meters from the ceiling a bit of tilt is unlikely to impact the height channel much and might bring some sound down closer to your ear level.

Gotta keep the spouse at the eye-rolling level and avoid the pointing out the door level! :-)

Thank you, I'll give it a go tomorrow , with a small rotation, that's good the height channel wouldn't be affected by that.

Oh yes indeed, spouse eye rolling level is critical here, it doesn't take a lot to reach door level :)

Appreciate your input
