I don't do any service work, but could probably recommend someone who can. As for speaker height, it's usually kind of a compromise for two-way speakers, since you want the midrange source raised to ear level for imaging but this causes midbass to suffer from floor bounce, which causes a notch in response. I tend to prefer leaving speakers as low as possible to the ground to remove floor bounce. Large-format two-ways work pretty well this way. Smaller cone/dome speakers tend to work better a little higher up off the ground.
