But this is the whole point of drives integration – you shall not be a able to recognize the individual drivers. Sorry, I can’t agree with what I did not experience. There are very many speakers out there that have fine driver integration and they all sound as one phantom radiating cloud. Not all of the can handle a nearfield but it is another subject. Try a simple experiment. Take a loudspeaker that you feel has the vertical disassociation between the drivers. Move a few feet or more back until the vertical disassociation between the drivers will be gone. That is how a properly integrated loudspeaker shell sound in near field from a perspective of drivers integration.
