Is the tweeter crossover on the Genelec 83x0 line audible?

If the crossover on them isn’t audible then I may just skip getting “The Ones” and save myself some money…

Like all two way vertical aligned speakers there are nulls due to phase cancellation between the two drivers at certain frequencies near the crossover. These occur at about 30 degrees above and below the driver. See the areas circled in pink below. Those are audible if that's where your ear is. The coax drivers don't have that problem.
