Tweeters facing in or out ?


Anyone Know the truth ? On a pair of mirror image speakers (w/ offset drivers) would you put the tweeters in center or to the outsides ? Like to hear what most think

The physical distance between woofer and tweeter causes the sonic axis of the speaker system to be angled. (The ubiquitous MTM driver array avoids this). So, by positioning the speakers at an angle, the (small) effect of having the tweeters inside or outside can be counteracted.

However, the direction of the sonic axis deflection is such that having the tweeters outside is equivalent to positioning the speakers angled in. This means that you can probably leave them physically straight, and from a cosmetic point of view this may be desirable.
