Offset tweeter and mid is mainly to reduce edge diffraction so that power distribution remains even. Most manufacturers do not specify a left or right (even when tweeter or mid is offset).
Speaker Channel Burn-In
I was talking with my non-audiophile friend who's system I helped put together (quad, plinius, MF), and telling him about some of the crazy things audiophiles believe in.
Between hooking up batteries to your interconnects, megabuck power cords, magic pebbles and clocks... he asked if audiophiles believe that there is a right speaker, and a left speaker, and if they should never be swapped.
I told him that I hadn't thought of that before! But that I'm sure there are some audiophiles out there that believe that you should never swap channels on your speakers once they are "burned in?".
So... are you guys out there??? You're never supposed to swap channels on your speakers, right? That would surely (insert problems here) and kill the sound!!!
