  I didn't notice but it's really pretty obvious and, because I once built a pair of subs of Red Gum, I should have seen it.
  
  

  
  
  

  
  
  
  Intended to help with imaging, maybe?

  Yes, they are asymetrical - calculated to the Golden Ratio or some such. IIRC, there were two reasons for this, but the only one I can remember right now is that it provides some positioning flexibility in smaller rooms.
  
  I'll dig up some old emails and post the other reason.
  
  Cheers.

    Being a 604 8H-III lover I would appreciate the info you mention especially if it does allow for greater flexibility or performance.
    Thanks

      Hi 'pond,
      
      From the plans: "Offset drivers/mirror imaged pair will have diffraction effects spread-out and give more versatility in room positioning".
      
      Cheers.

        RC-
        Thanks for following up on finding that asymmetry info. Looking forward to hearing your impressions of the sound when you get your rig running.
