whatever, subjectively or not why bother to build corner cabs if you are not going to put them in corners?

These definitely were not build like Klipschorns since they were able to be out in the room. A very "likeable" thing with a corner speaker is they can appear to take up much less room. They just sit in the corner.
Obviously the speakers you were looking at needed backs to make the speaker complete, not like the Klipschorn that requires a corner, otherwise they would have been underwhelming in the bass when moved into the root. It seems reasonable that the speakers were designed so they could be in corners and unobtrusive, maybe even possibly loading the room better, with smoother bass if they were in the corners.
