The three AE TD12Ss that I have all show an even reveal of a bit less than a millimeter around the phase plug, so you you're driver may be an exception. Do both woofers show the same issue? Is the phase plug really round or a subtly elliptical? As Wayne said, the issue is probably only cosmetic and won't have any functional consequence, but I'd confirm that with Acoustic Elegance. Mounting the woofers with the most uniform gap area at the top may address the cosmetic issue with the TD12Ss mounted in the cabinets if there are no functional issues. The Eminence 12LFA is a good driver, but the AE TD12S is worth the extra cost in the 3Pi. Good luck!
