Dynaudio Contour S5.4 & S3.4 Owners?

Any problems getting used to the tweeter below the bass drivers? Unusual configuration, very few speakers set up this way. Just wondering. Thanks!

Unless I put my ear right next tot he speaker I can't tell where the sound is coming from - tweeter or the other drivers. Who cares where it is placed as long as it sound good?

I think they are probably permanent - even the wife loves them, which is a good sign! She has a better ear than I do anyway. Ha! As for the tweeter, it still occasionally distracts me. Plus I am 6'6" so they tend to be a touch below my ear level. I seem to recall reading that this alignment was in having to do with room reflections, but I may be mistaken...?
