The poles are set off at 140 degrees and wont matter in any normal listening and measuring test.
The important thing to remember is this allows a classic Form Follows function design to use many lofty drivers, multi enclosures
and be a full range design instead of the typical 2 way Six sided Boxy box for the same money. I also bet most of the guys posting have not
experienced how well this design has progressed.
I know which one I would rather listen to......

The dowels that support the grillecloths on various Vandersteen models are an integral part of the design. They are carefully placed and do not degrade performance in any way. You and any of your readers can easily prove this for yourselves with a simple experiment: Darken the room to eliminate visual suggestion and place two broom handles in front of each speaker, just inside of the dowels that support the grillecloth. These broom handles will be forward of the dowels inside the speaker and will include a narrower angle, much closer to the radiation pattern of the drivers. They will still be completely inaudible. Try it.
Bose says Bose speakers are great too!

It's a good suggestion on how anyone interested in the proposed effect of the poles can conduct their own test and hear and judge for themselves their effect.Performing the test would be more scientific than just proposing a possible effect.
