Main speakers at different height

[jchag]

My main speakers are Onix Rocket 1000. I would like to place one approximately 16" higher than the other. This would allow more space for the speakers to the side wall. (Rocket 1000 has a side firing woofer). I move the left speaker up to a ledge and I receive an additional 3 feet distance to the side wall for both speakers. Currently approximately 1 foot from wall. Any thoughts?

Not a goog thought, imagine the sound of a plane travelling from the left to the right with one spks high and other at a low height, you will not get a good soundstage and your spks will reflect their position.

I have to agree with saurabh, different heights is going to sound bad in your room.

Yea especially 16". That's a big difference.
