The reason I asked....and in exactly that manner is simple curiousity. When I flipped my panels around, just a simple rotation in place, the sound was instantly improved. The sweet spot opened up and i ultimately adjusted the toe to about 11 degrees.
I realized than that the tweeter either led or lagged the bass part of the panel by 90 degrees because of the 1st / 2nd order crossover used.
My theory was that flipped, the sound now back in-phase, since if the bass leads the mid/tweet, the distance it now is further makes the time delay about equal to the listener.
A complicated way to say it simply sounded more 'right'.
I was just curious about the lobing since that in a sense confirms my thought. As a total off-topic note, that is the way phased array radar works. They can steer the beam from a flat emitter by phasing the emission across the panel. You should be able to do the same thing with audio?
I'm glad your setup is set and stable. I owned MG-1s for over 2 decades and a rebuild at WhiteBearLake and never had the kinds of problems with setup the 1.6s gave me....until I flipped 'em.
I'll admit to being over analytical / curious but I always gotta know WHY something works when the change was so.....dramatic.
Too much is never enough
