omnidirectional/bipolar tweets?
A couple of months ago I ran across an old Sound & Vision mag that featured a speaker listening session with members of Phish. They were listening to 3 pairs of floorstanders from Energy, JBL and NHT. The Energy pair was consistently the favorite - no this wasn't a DBT and I realize that some folks here can't stand celebrity advice on audio gear. But, this is just the set up for my inquiry. The Energy entry was from their former highend range the Audissey. It came in about three different sizes, but its unique characteristic was its 2 tweeters. The one firing to the rear was supposed to provide more "air and space." Has anyone heard this speaker? When the Verita line replaced the Audissey, did Energy go to a single tweeter direct approach? What manufacturers use the 2 tweeter or omnidirectional design for mains and which ones use it most effectively? Anyone compare this design to direct radiating speaks? Is this the same concept or design used in some HT surround speakers? BTW, please don't hesitate to correct my terminology.
