That's exactly the thing I don't get.When you put the 8341, 8351 or 8361 on top, the system disables their racetrack woofers in favor of the more directionally-focused radiation of the front 14" woofer, which at the top end of its range matches the +/- 60 degree radiation of the smaller monitors.
At 500Hz the radiation of these monitors is definitely not +/- 60°, it's 360° already, and nothing seems to cancel their side radiation.
