I don't perceive you're trying to give me a hard time and appreciate your replies. I wish I was better @ explaining so I wasn't wasting YOUR time. Since way back when, I always heard moving the tweeters slightly toward center improved the imaging. Whether this is true or an old MFG.'s tale, I'm not sure. I've been doing some preliminary OB testing on a pair of 18.5 X 18.5 baffles, mounted on speaker stands, so they're about 35" off of the floor. I run a small, powered sub/woofer to augment the low end. Currently the tweeters are mounted on some some small luan pieces on the baffle sides, since I was "hunting" for a tweeter to use. This allowed for quick switching and testing. I like the sound, and want to make some permanent, slightly larger baffles. I'm trying to see, (hear), if there are some ways to tweak these even more, without creating huge, floor standing baffles in the living room. That's why the original question about whether it's more advantageous to have more baffle on the inside or outside of the drivers. I guess another way to do it would be to mount them asymetrically, as you suggested, move them around to see if they sound better a certain way, then add the tweeters later.
