Thanks Kal.

If you re-read my posting you will see that I also do not think that it is a centre speaker. I do think that it is for horizontal mounting however.

I do not think that it is a D'Appolito design. These are also known as MTM ( Midwoofer/tweeter/Midwoofer)designs . One of the large drive units has a pleated cone which is more typical of woofers. As there are three and not two types of driver it isn't likley to be an MTM. So I think it is what could be termed an "MTW" design which would be more typical of studio monitors used for wide range nearfield monitorimg when bridge mounted. Still I am happy to be found incorrect if that is the case.

Also look at the power handling capabilites of the tweeter (see posting above for identification). 150 -300 watts. Not usual for a domestic speaker but for studio use ...

If the OP posts a picture of the speaker with the grille in place and the logo showing that might be a clue as to correct orientation. Unless, of course the logo can be rotated:-)
