Well, I have this set of speakers in for listening, but I can’t work out how the designer has achieved the results. A frequency response chart is shown.

I know the drivers are custom designs, and I know some tweeters have a deeper acoustical center than others. The speakers image incredibly well, much like my Vandersteens. The sound is good, but I simply can’t make sense of the design, which bugs me. How can these be time aligned?
Are delay characteristics different between series and parallel crossovers different?
From what I read, methods for determining the acoustical center of a driver are very difficult.
I am a bit baffled. No pun intended.
