I use a very large speaker system (RBH SX-T2/R) that utilizes a special layout of four 6.5” woofers and three tweeters in the top cabinet, then two 10” subs in the base module. From what I understand from the designer/developer:
The specific driver alignment allows for a very broad/uniform dispersion pattern between the speakers and a more controlled dispersion pattern to the outside of the speakers. The controlled dispersion pattern reduces reflections off of room boundaries at critical frequencies. It also allows for a very spacious soundstage with improved imaging across the width of the listening area. In affect, as you move from the center listening position to the left or right, the speaker furthest from you becomes louder and the speaker closest to you becomes softer within a critical range of frequencies. In a sense, this speaker is somewhat self-correcting relative to listening position, implying that it almost counteracts the Haas Effect .
Short answer. Sounds good
