I've read the article and his comment about lobing. This one is headscratcher for me. Anytime I have heard this speaker, I haven't been able to detect the change in tonality and dispersion within a fairly broad axis.

Most recently I heard a pair of these above and below a projector screen, again another no-no and it sounded pretty good sitting in front of the screen and off to the side. What's bothering me is I know the theory and acoustical problems associated with lobing yet in real world usuage I haven't experienced it with the VP150. It could be one of those things where despite the theory, in practice such configurations and alignments can work pretty well.
