Sonus faber Olympica ll

[Axel]

I found that I didn’t need to make a jig for my laser speaker alignment.
The two sight adjusters on the scope formed a tripod and the metalwork around the leather on top of the speakers provided a groove for the front feet to sit in.  A pile of coins provided vertical adjustment.
   


After aiming the speakers, I used the Theodolite app to check for plumb, level and rake angle.
Initially I had the speaker line crossing about five inches in front of my nose. I noted that the soundstage was much smaller, with not much going on beyond the sides of the speakers and bass was 
a touch uneven, with some notes sounding louder than others.
I didn’t like it, so changed angles until the speakers were aimed at each of my shoulders.  This gave the best sound, with a large soundstage and good placement of instruments. I’m probably going to widen the angle bit by bit to see if I can hear any differences. 
Having the Herbie’s gliders under the spikes makes an easy job of  moving the speakers. No more “walking” them into position, just grab the front set of spikes and gently slide them round!
