On a speaker where the tweeter is not symetrically aligned in the cabinet which side does it go towards? And why in terms of polar response, sound stage focus,and side wall first reflection.
Different manufacturers have different recommendations as to the orientation of off axis tweeters.You would have to read the spec sheet on each speaker to find out the reasoning.
Not that important. The reason for he offset is to minimize baffle edge diffraction..if you place a tweeter equidistant from the sides then you increase the amount of baffle edge effect at specific frequencies - the worst case would be a circular baffle with the tweeter at the center.
I forgot to mention,I've seen them both ways.Some tweeters in,others tweeters out.It must depend on overall design,plus maybe what the makers think will work best.But they still don't know everybody's situation.
