Sorry, I understood the rake angle on speaker to be the forward or (more likely backward tilt) of speakers. I've use the Sumiko setup guide and below is how he refers to it. The suggestion is based on Jennifer Warren's Ballad of the Runaway Horse the direction is as follows:
begin adjusting the critical rake angle of the anchor speaker.
If your speakers or speaker stands do not have adjustable spikes, you can try using door shims or wedge spacers. Adjust the spikes to get the speaker level across the front and raked back to get the beam of the tweeter firing an inch or two above your ears when seated in your listening position.Listen to the quality of Warnes’ voice. She should appear to be ear level or slightly above ear level in the soundstage.
Remember, this is a personal choice. Many audiophiles prefer ear level because the sound is slightly fuller. A little above ear level may sound more natural or like a live musical event.
What I was looking for if someone used songs of a singer standing and what approximate height that might be. I have struggled getting the Jennifer Warren one correct for standing singers. I can't use a laser on top of my speakers to point at the listening position as the top is rounded and the tweeter gets in the way.
