it happens ONLY in the inhalations with improperly integrated drivers. The entire subject of the “improper integration” shall get rid of this possibility. I know that you use EdgarHorn and what I heard it at its best I did note that midbass horn has some integration issuers, I told to Bruce about it and it looks like he knows it. Anyhow, if you hear that “bass comes from down below and the highs come from up above” then it not the problem of multi-driver topology but the problem of a given implementation.
Romy, don't be silly. You are trying to tell me you cannot hear vertical position? You cannot tell if the cat meows, if it is on the ground or the ceiling. Of course you can; do not be ridiculous.

In stereo reproduction, it is difficult to tell because of the recorded room reflections and all the other information. I am NOT saying it is obvious at all. With the EdgarHorns, it sounds like no sound comes from the speakers, it is all in the stereo image illusion. However, there IS a difference with speakers in TMM and MTM configuration, and if you listen very carefully you can hear the effect of tweeters above, woofers below.

I admit the effect is well hidden, but to deny that we can perceive vertical sound position is just silly.
