Tweeter below mid-woofer


Has anyone found a shift in imaging with speakers that have the tweeter below the midwoofer than above.I sit about nine feet from my stand mounted left center right which are paradigm miniMK3's.I plan on buying PSB Bronze to get a little better bottom end.I was wondering about that tweeter being six or so inches below the bottom of the screen(front projector).As it is the sound image is below the screen.Thanx

What i was asking was "are you doing anything to reduce the tweeter from trying to reproduce notes outside of the usable bandwidth for that individual driver" ? If so, what approach are you using i.e. passive or active crossovers ? If you are not limiting the bandwidth of the tweeter, you're not really hearing what the tweeter is capable of. Sean

I think I need to re-ask my question.In my system I use monitors on stands.The front three are idenical to each other.They are about 38" above the floor.The tweeter is about 36" above the floor.I plan on purchasing four PSB bronze,three for the front and one for the ES ch.My screen is just above the speakers.Do you think the image would be lower because the tweeter is almost seven inches below the tweeter on my monitors.Idunow?
It is "possible" that they could "image higher", but some of that will depend on how the drivers are laid out on the baffle, the spacing between them and what the crossover points are. I looked on PSB's website but found very limited info on these speakers.

Given the fact that you are going from a stand mounted monitor to a floor mounted box, my guess is that the sound will appear to come from a lower point than what you are currently experiencing. This has to do with the larger baffle acting as a sound board. As such, the sound will tend to be concentrated closer to the ground. Once again though, the layout of the drivers on the baffle and crossover points come into play here. Without more info, i can't help you.

Have you tried talking to someone at PSB ? If you get Paul Barton, tell him you know NOTHING about speakers and tell him to keep it simple. He has a hard time communicating his ideas from my past experiences listening to him speak. Sean
