I use standard CDs as well as audiophile favorites.

recently I've been listening to the Stockfische label David Roth, but be aware the voice is phase inverted to the background.

The Harbeth (a customer's) Has the tweeters mirror imaged and offset. Placing the tweeter outboard raises the image height, placing them inboard lowers the image height (quite noticeably). The customer has lower stands than what I would normally use in relation to his seat, so h e wanted a higher sound stage imaging. Angling the putty upwards to the outboard edge accomplishes that.

If you are satisfied with your current listening height. align the putty horizontally. That being said the height ( in relation to the tweeter and woofer can alter the tonal balance significantly). If you want more bottom end raise the putty (closer towards the tweeter. This enables the woofer sound to have greater dispersion. If you lower the horizontal putty, you allow the tweeter greater dispersion and you get more highs.

There is no one set formula as everything is not only component dependent but also room dependent ( also dependent on your tastes ! ).

Have fun playing around

    For diffraction control, look no further than the link below if I do say so myself.

      Instead of employing a "shotgun" blast kind of application, I can specifically tailor the characteristics to change specific parameters of the interaction of the drivers.
      
      And while the felt pads cost $56, this mod costs pennies.
      
      Of course YMMV, but I like cheap but effective tweaks.
