There's farfield sound, nearfield sound and too-damn-close sound. What I mean is, when you are very close to a speaker, the angle between you and the woofer is so much different than the angle between you and the tweeter that it is obvious there are two sound sources. Even if the distances are equal and summing is good, the fact that the two bands of sound are coming from two different places is obvious. This is only a problem at very close range, generally within a foot or two, depending on the size of the speaker. Smaller speakers can be listened to from a closer range because the sound sources are closer together.
