What I am saying is that a speaker which has the tweeter coil further away from the listener is a) less fatiguing to listen to and
b) closer to reality
then if it is the other way around.

The reasoning behind both is based on the fact that because we split the audio signal into bass and treble we are inevitably splitting fundamental tones from their harmonics.
With regular flat-fronted speakers the treble coil is nearer the listener and so harmonics can reach the ear before their fundamental. The brain is very good at distinguishing harmonics from fundamental tones and if faced with harmonics but no fundamental it simply creates one. That is how we get the impression of deep bass from small speakers.
A late arriving fundamental just serves to confuse the brain and leads to listening fatigue.
Also in reality a fundamental always precedes its harmonics; never the other way around.

So with your Tannoys you are already better in that respect then the vast majority of other speakers. If you really need to align them you will need to delay the bass by about 0.2ms.

My experience with Behringer products is such that if I never have to touch another of their products again it will still be too soon...
