Tweeter placement


Hi!

This is an embarrassingly rookie question, but I've noticed most speakers have their tweeters on top. A few, like Trenner and others have the tweeter below the woofer.

Why is that?

In a non-D'Appolito set-up, why would this be? Shouldn't a tweeter ideally be at ear level?

It is directly related to how the speaker is designed and dispersion dynamics of the design. My current speakers have the tweeter well above ear level, but that is the way it was meant to be listened to. Some speakers need to have your ears directly on axis with the tweeters for the magic to happen.
