I own these speakers and, with a 'bi-amp'-capable home theater receiver*, feed the two pairs of binding posts with the same signal. The sound from top-firing driver bounces off my (flat, normal height) ceiling, complimenting the front-firing drivers. The sound emanates from the whole end of the room, rather than just two points, and the result is impressive, to say the least... especially from speakers with such a small footprint.
I can also use these speakers as rear-channels in my home theater by laying them on their sides - with padding (and rubber bumpers) to angle them properly. The front-firing drivers act as the surround channels, and the top-firing drivers are the rear-surround channels, reflecting the sound from my back wall. (I understand this is not optimal sound-wise, but these avoids having to run another pair of speaker wires... to another pair of speakers.)
* An older model Yamaha HTR-5590 receiver, the front buttons of which turn-on and -off the 'A' and 'B' amps separately, for an easy comparison with and without the top diver activated.
