How can I tell what end of these speakers has the tweeter? I just bought a pair (on sale this week 7-27-14 for $59.99) and will post a review later on, but I'd like to mount these speakers in the position that puts the tweeters closer to ear level.

Alas, the grilles are not removable, can't be seen through, and none of the photos of the product show the speakers with the grilles removed, so I can't tell which end has the tweeters. (Even if there was, it might not help because the enclosures are symmetrical.)

So can someone tell me if the tweeter is at the end with the label, or the end with the wire teminals?

(And even if it doesn't help, it'd be nice to see a photo with the grille removed, so we can see what the drivers look like.)

I have mine mounted 10 foot off the ground and you can hear the tweets perfectly clear. Don't sweat it with worrying about the tweeters, they sound great and aren't designed to be directional to the point that placement is that critical.

Tweeter is opposite end of where the terminals connect.

Opposite end of label I think. Use a flash light and look into the grill closely to be sure.

The tweeter was on the opposite end of the speaker where you hooked up the wires to the back.

I have owned several sets of speakers over the years and have never seen a pair that placed the speaker connection points in back behind the tweeter so I assume they would be above. I mounted mine vertically with the speaker connections at the bottom.

The Tweeter should be at the "top" of the speaker, which is going to be the end that has the label, where as the "bottom" will be the end that has the wire terminals.
