In conventional multi driver systems, the sound is emanating from different physical planes and positions, making off axis response rather variable. The most obvious being the true point source emanation of sound waves which ensures a phase coherency not attainable by other means. There are several inherent virtues of the dual concentric design. Principles were so "right" that they are still highly relevant today. Steady evolution has seen the dual concentric reach new levels of performance and value as well as a broader range of potential applications.
