The Adagios have a D'apolito configuration, the tweeter is actually slightly above ear level when I sit down. The bottom driver is more inline with my ear.. I mean it's still pretty close since I am 10.5 feet away and the speaker is 4 feet tall with 2 X 6.5 drivers and a ribbon tweeter, but I would not say that the tweeter is exactly at ear level in my case.
