They're about the same place as the Edens. The Edens, however, were designed with the tweeter below and to the right of the woofer. With the Cantibile Jubile, the tweeter is pretty much on line with my ears. My sitting is done on the couch. Not much I can do about that. If I sit up a bit or even stand, the occasional shouty quality is not as pronounced. Toeing out the speakers lessens it a bit as well (but not completely). But there is also a lack of ease in the top end when pushed compared to the midrange on down which has QUITE an ease to it. I can hear both the relaxed qualities of certain music from the next room, as well as when the reproduction gets relatively up tight up top. I'm wondering if further breaking in will result in the top end getting more relaxed. With certain types of music, these speakers can be remarkable.
But back to the shouty quality, I've noticed that if a vocalist sings a short 'a' (as in "had") or long 'e' (as in "needy"), which results in a reedy quality to the human voice (Anyone should be able to reproduce this), that reedy quality exacerbates the shouty quality, like the particular overtone(s) jump out when that word is sung, and it can be a bit unpleasant.
