Wow that's a lot to take in. I'm happy you told me about the whole tweeter position. as I was about to try and turn them sideways cause I figured that my ears are up here so why put speakers below where my ears are. And your 100percent correct that the human mouth aims at the listeners ears. I haven't tried to play anything between 300 or 2000 hurts as yet. Is there a record or download I can get that will help me test that?
just anything vocal heavy. down to the river from "Oh Brother where art thou" the movie sound track is beautiful as is landslide by Fleetwood Mac the demo version or album version.
virtually all of her voice will be emanating not from the tweeter but from the woofer since the human voice tonally peaks before even 1000hz.
think about that. the human voice which is essentially the hardest thing to get right ranges from about 200hz to 1000hz and that's like Barry white and Mariah Carey minus her squeal which goes a bit higher.
and then around 1000-3000 is where lip noises breath the sound of consonants and sibilance are which is why our hearing is actually most sensitive there to allow us to be able to comprehend speech.
that range is such a hot spot that it's also the range of nails on chalk board and why the sound of people chewing with their mouths open cuts through the mix and is considered rude. it sounds louder to us than it really is...
a baby crying it's loudest, belting is what it's technically called, also falls within this range which again makes sense from an evolutionary standpoint.
so the role of the tweeter is really only reserved for the percussive sounds in vocals while tone is all handled by the woofer and tone is richness which is what you want the most of, while clarity on the other hand adds air and dimension / sound staging but is also fatiguing to our ears just like nails on chalk board.
in all music the entire spectrum is basically covered so at any given point you are actually hearing nails on chalkboard but along with other stuff so it doesn't sound as bad but regardless having that range a bit off axis is just more comfortable.
Other wise they r great speakers and once I figure out how to get them hooked up to my Bluetooth I should be happy as a clam.
you can find pretty decent Bluetooth adapters with line out for around 20 bucks. just make sure it has good reviews and supports apt x.
Thanks for your help, I feel good knowing that these are better than 5 pairs of ls50s! (And that must be a lot of speakers)
I like this one especially since it allows you to stream to two devices at once:

the advantage is also that it's super compact so I can carry it with me on a plane or something BUT it's range is limited. if you plan on expecting it to work across the house rather than just when you're in the room I'd grab something with actual antennas like this.

There an easy way to tell if aptx is working...if you have noticeable latency, it’s not using aptx! It’s possible your receiver is picking up the computer built in Bluetooth and not the aptx one. Problem solve with turning things off/on and test with a YouTube drum tutorial video (easy to find a delay in the audio/video that way).
