Dynaco A25 mirror image pair

[shnaggle]

Recently lucked upon a mirror image (tweeter) pair of A25's.

Are the pairs meant to be configured with the tweeters leaning into each other or away from each other?

Picture (not mine) of mirror-image tweeters away from each other:

In my own non-scientific experiments, tweeters inside is better.

I've read that the tweeters should be inboard, couldn't tell you why.

Huh, I've usually always liked them to the outside when mirrored.
Even when laying speakers on there sides they sounded better with the tweeters to the outside. Maybe it depends on the room and it's size?

Trying them in both outside and in configurations:

Outside: wider dispersion, imaging is still good
inside: not as wide, imaging good

Both configs work well.

Most articles I've read recommend tweeters inside. But ISTM that if you can't separate the speakers by that much, you might get audibly improved separation with them on the outside.

They'll be a bit better time-aligned, if the tweeters are on the outside- unless you toe them in a LOT (i.e, toed in farther than facing directly at you).

Whichever sounds best in your room.

Tweeters outside.. they just look better that way...
Wider stage, but you'll still wanna toe the speakers..

This is what worked best for me no mater the room.
