With the symmetrical woofers the lobe will be identical to the left and right of the speaker. That means better imaging and the same off-axis response to the left and right of the speaker. The second line also increases the surface area so that we can move more air with less compression and lower distortion.

The use of planars or ribbons is better for the following reasons:

1) better sensitivity

2) lower interference patterns in the vertical plane

3) can be operated at a lower crossover point than the small neo dome tweeters
