not always. i have speakers that have the tweeter between two midrange drivers.. that are my high end speakers, for listening, and judging the endmix.. 3 way by the way (all drivers as you call them in seperate enclosures, and 2 woofers, horizontal placed within there own even more seperate enclosure.. and connected with eachother with a "pole", to reduce resonance, with only one port to output the bass, in the front of the enclosure/cabinet).
my monitors, i agree they aren't the best monitors for mixing, but i know them and have a balanced responce (strangely comparable with my high end speakers, but the low is missing, which in my case is only positive, strangely, i never go wrong in the lows... and have another set, with yes tweeter above woofer in my studio, for checking the lows, it mainly confirms what i have done), are 2 way, and the tweeter is placed between the 2 woofers, and the bass ports are next to the tweeters...
so... to design a good speaker, can be done in different ways.
it is always difficult to place monitors at the right place in the room, where you mix.
but i think the most important thing; is knowing your monitors. once you have experience with them, you don't get surprised on other "sound systems".
so many producing techniques as there are producers.
(and i am nót a producer..)
