Kef Blade crossover point question

KEF - Innovators in Sound

The Kef blade has a mid/bass crossover point of 350 Hz - The bass units are side mounted.. is directional upper bass/low mids not an issue with this design?

No a 8" becomes directive above 500Hz (1/3 of the diameter).

Sorry I think maybe I havent explained my question very well;
I would have thought that below 350hz you still need a forward pointing driver (until around 100 hz) but maybe because its a stereo pair rather than a single sub this is not an issue?
