Gimmick that can only make the frequency response worse through interference with front tweeter

"Interference" called 1/4 length wavelength cancellations (also known as destructive cancellations, or comb-filtering).

This distortion of the frequency response can make the sound "more spacious", but not more accurate.

There's already too much comb filtering from room reflections -- adding a second tweeter, when one tweeter can provide sufficient SPL, can only make the frequency response worse at the listening position.

That's a sound effect or gimmick -- not an improvement.

However you always have a spare tweeter if the front one breaks!
