I am building surrounds for my home theater (limited program materiel, not for music applications).
Nearly every speaker design I have seen that utilizes multiple identical drivers always puts them in a vertical array with tweeters centered.
Is there any reason why I should NOT use the second examples configuration and make the speakers overall height a few inches less and keep the same width?
I am concerned that with the relatively close seating position the taller configuration will have some noticeable separation. I also have plenty of width but my height is limited; shorter would be better from a build standpoint.
(Both examples use the same drivers and are monopole)
-I already own the drivers.
Already started to make a router template to flush mounting the PITA truncated frames.

Thanks for any advice.
