[QUOTE="hoss, post: 4020080, member: 549860"] it has to do with how it will blend with the mids. its somewhat subjective, and entirely install dependent. but it just has to do with the sound dispersion of the tweeter. think of it as a laser vs a flashlight. a tweeter with a strong on axis resonse is like a laser (in the sense that the sound travels like a beam, it is concentrated as you are looking at the tweeter head on, and you can barely see the light when looking from a 45 degree angle. and likewise, another tweeter might spread light like a flashlight, with a wide spread.) higher freq's actually do tend to act more like a laser in the above example. they are more concentrated in a "head on" situation. so an off axis tweeter might help in your install case, and would definitly help in the imaging/staging.
