The D'Appolito, MTM Configuration

One speaker technology which is I think old but hasn't gotten the praise it deserves is the Joseph D'Appolito configuration.  In short, it uses a tweeter vertically sandwiched between two midwoofers.  Using two actual midranges is a variation on the theme. 

What got me thinking of this was the $220,000 speaker pair that appeared on Stereophile's coverage of the Florida Audio Expo, which made me think, fondly, of the original, 1980's era  Focal Utopia where I first heard this arrangement. 

It's a very good arrangement for those who love detail and want a speaker that's relatively easy to live with.

How about you? Have a pair of D'Appolito-like speakers ever won you over?
