In Reply to: There are only a few problems with your theory posted by Soundmind on November 14, 2006 at 09:18:28:
With speaker enclosures of any size I've seen used in a home, the front and rear tweeters are going to be no more than a few feet apart, which means their sounds are going to be a few milliseconds apart and WILL interfere with each other (destructive interference due to out-of phase arrivals at our ears).You can't improve the treble frequency response accuracy of a speaker by using more than one tweeter.
You CAN create a "spacious" sound effect, which some listeners may enjoy, from front + rear tweeter destructive cancellations (comb filtering)
... but that's a deterioration of frequency response accuracy, not an improvement.It's very unlikely that the recording or mastering engineer used speakers with rear tweeters to make the recording -- therefore that recording will be altered by playback using home speakers with rear tweeters (or Bose 901'swith rear drivers).
Our ears blend all sounds arriving a few milliseconds apart.
