Speakers with drivers facing in another direction

I am still pissed at the Bose lawsuit against Consumers Reports. Consumers Reports got the physics right but were screwed in the lower courts by a jury trial. Imagine what a jury of audiophiles would have ruled.

Amar Bose was a very talented engineer but an even smarter marketer. He determined what the masses wanted and gave it to them at excessive prices. Along the way he created a huge company and made a fortune. So who are the dummies?

as always to each his own.
I have an acquaintance over in west baltimore that has a set of 901's properly set up with good electronics and i think it sounds good.
Yes it a confused image of an omni but very pleasant to listen to

Are audiophile's excretions to only ones that smell sweet?

When the tweeter is facing upwards, is there any changes that have to be made (crossover, etc)?

[brombo]

Define upwards. In the Morrison speakers the tweeter faces upwards but there is a spherical acoustic reflector above it to make the pattern omnidirectional in the horizontal plane.

[mix4fix]

Completely facing upwards towards the ceiling.

That sounds like the recipe for the Dolby Atmos speakers used in surround sound systems ...
based on encoding and special algorithms, it enables a 3D sound field with horizontal and vertical attributes
Oh wait, the previous post in this thread was April 1st ...
