headphones or monitors (boooring, I know, but still)

...I know that the tweeter should be at ear height and you have to form the 60°-triangle.

 

You don't *know* that, you've been *told* that. It's good to have the tweeter at a reasonable height, but the 60 degree toe-in idea is usually wrong. It's a band-aid for lousy acoustics, and it will destroy soundstaging in most cases. Try less toe-in.

 

The critical thing, in every case, is to time-align your speakers. With 2-ways, whether or not paired with subs, you can always accomplish it with positioning (tilting). I like to use a nice tom-tom hit and listen for truest reproduction.

Mac Mini 2012 with 2.3 GHz i5 CPU and 16GB RAM running newest OS10.9x and Signalyst HQ Player software (occasionally JRMC), ethernet to Cisco SG100-08 GigE switch, ethernet to SOtM SMS100 Miniserver in audio room, sending via short 1/2 meter AQ Cinnamon USB to Oppo 105D, feeding balanced outputs to 2x Bel Canto S300 amps which vertically biamp ATC SCM20SL speakers, 2x Velodyne DD12+ subs. Each side is mounted vertically on 3-tiered Sound Anchor ADJ2 stands: ATC (top), amp (middle), sub (bottom), Mogami, Koala, Nordost, Mosaic cables, split at the preamp outputs with splitters. All transducers are thoroughly and lovingly time aligned for the listening position.
