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.

Hello Adrian,

Do you also "hear" the sound coming from down below if a bassoon is playing? If so, couldn't this be the result of improper positioning?

Best,
Tuga
