rear firing tweeters....


I have a pair of old Snells with rear firing tweeters...just curious why we don't see this configuration more today ? Phase issues? Placement problems? Engineering issues?

I've always wondered about the "correctness" of rear firing tweeters as well, but I have heard several that sound good, so I guess that's what counts.
I had a pait of Nestorovic 5As for a couple of years, and they had an optional and removeable rear firing tweeter module on top. I always preferred it on.
Some of the Revels use them; I am sure there are others. As I sit IN FRONT of my speakers I have never noticed a need for them! Just kidding.
