[quote author="synthetic"]I worked with Walter Dick, who designed the Urei 813, a ton of JBL monitors, Alesis Monitor 1 and 2, Events, etc. Anyway, I worked in Alesis customer service at the time the M1s came out, and there was a debate going whether they sounded better upright or on their side. So I see Walter one day, and my punk ass decides I'm going to ask the wise old engineer how he designed them to sound best. So I ask the question, "are they designed to sound better upright or on their sides?" and I can still hear his response in his scratchy, nicotine-stained voice:
"I can't hear the difference... can you?"[/quote]
Hahahahaha! :green: :green: :green:
GENIOUS!!!!
Reminds me Peter Walker (some random guy, who made Quad ESL57) was asked: "Mister Walker, what kind of cables would you recommend to feed your ESL57 from the Quad 33/303 system?"
Mr. Walker answers:
"The ones would reach from the amp to the speakers".
On a serious note, back to the original question...
Lets think logically...
The bass waves are considered to be thicker...
Means... they whould be heavier...
Meaning... if the woofer placed above, the waves would fall on the fragile and lighter waves coming from a tweeter thingy...
And crash them down :shock: :shock: :shock:
No :?: :?: :?:
Wait a second...
I am confused...
