Probably several reasons. To make it a floorstander it needed to be taller to get the tweeter higher, the volume needed to be kept at a target value of arpound 45 liters, so the width or depth had to drop, and the wider cabinet improves imaging. A very narrow cabinet also improves imaging, but they had a 10" woofer to accomodate. The Heritage with 2 x 8" woofers is narrow and deep. Another reason is the issue of baffle step where the wavelengths of sound are long compared to the distance to the edge of the baffle. Baffle step effect results in a change in output level of the speaker at some frequency. The wider the cabinet, the lower the frequency, so the cabinet dimensions have an effect on the voicing of the speaker. Finally, there is the frequency at which the reinforcement from the back wall reflection occurs. This can also be used in voicing the speaker, and since these speakers were both intended for Near-wall placement, that too may have had something to do with the choice of dimensions.Jerry
