Hey guys,
My front left/right speakers are Polk Audio RTi A9s which are just over 48" tall.
I'm planning on a 129" wide acoustically transparent cinemascope screen with all the speakers behind it, but I'm worried about the position of the tweaters on those speakers.
If I mount the screen 20" from the floor and it has a 3.5" trim around it, that means the acoustic screen starts at 23.5" off the ground.
I figure I could mount the speaker at 21" off the ground without blocking the port, but that will mean the tweeters are at 63.5" off the ground which is kind of high.
I've heard you should try to keep the tweeters in line with your center and at about eye level from your money seat.
I know I can do some adjustments to the receiver to partially compensate for this.
Is anybody else doing this and are there really issues with it or it's fine?
Here's a diagram. The tweeters are 6" from the top of those towers.

Thanks,
Bill
