NO such thing as BETTER...every room and model is different.That said, I have found that the tweeters are more responsible for the center imaging, and if you have them close together, you will like the tweeter outboard, and if you have them far apart, they will sound better on the inside.
I like the mags set up very wide, so inside works for me. YMMV

My experience has been with 1.6s, 3.6s, and 20.1sI like them wide and I have them on my long wall, so tweets are IN.
Good Luck
I think that's the point that a lot of people miss out on - the key aspect is the distance the tweeters are from each other rather than if they're in or out. I have a fairly narrow room and I have to have the speakers on the short wall, hence the tweeters go out. If I was on the long wall it could well be different.Cheers,
C,Looks like you are dead on here!!
There definatley is a finite distance that the tweeters have to be from each other. ANy further, and the imaging suffers. On larger models, due to their size, it seems that getting to this distance is best accomplished with teh tweets on the outside...unless one has a big room, or is using the long wall.
