Regarding the Haigner, just because there is a directivity mismatch at 6 khz does not mean the speaker sounds bad. The designer discussed the method to his madness in the 6moons Tech Talk article (link on the product page, which includes some decent discussion on his take on CD speaker design too, check it out). He also, not coincidentally, suggests cross-fire orientation as described in the link I posted.
As far as the Thoress, I didn't realize the tweet was upward firing, but like the Haigner, it would exhibit controlled directivity at least from the midrange horn. The woof's pattern probably matches the mid at the crossover point (well, who knows, but it really should!). So kind of like the Haigner, controlled directivity over certain frequencies including the mids/lower treble, with the upper harmonics sprayed around more liberally.
