I know one thing, I’m learning to let go of a few nearly groundless biases which have emerged via some recent thread generations I’ve posted lately. Its bitter sweet. A little tuff finding out you’ve developed comtempt prior to investigation, but good that its become visible and consequently then enabled to let it go.

hmmm. How well do these speaker makers do on their *FOB if the buyer is not satisfied, generally speaking?
*FOB = Fetch it On Back
All kidding aside, height seems as much an issue as any other area. Beyond that is esthetics and obviously cost. Then or initially would be bass prominence.
Setting. tall units in a room with limited distance above them makes me think a third plane is now in the mix for yet more worries when fitting speakers to rooms.
The saving grace might be radiated energy from a speaker is not much on its vertical axis directly above the top of its cabinet, and thus will not inordinately account for ceiling reflections. .
However, this is pure speculation.

As well, how about that overall weight? Wow. Half a ton each? Whoa. Even a quarter ton each. Shheesh. Above 300lbs. I’d not be reall happy about setting them up myself.
