It has a lot to do with the positions of the HF and LF drivers and your

Interesting. I'd suspect most people wouldn't immediately think of the
Quad
ESL63's as 'dual concentric'. :-) More like 'multiple quasi-concentric'
or 'phased array', though. They image quite well, though.


In some senses this is not surprising since they have little LF response and
most positional information is in the higher frequencies.
