Snell C/V - Are they Handed?

[johnspd22]

Can anyone advise if Snell C/V speakers are handed. I noticed the felt cutouts appear to be offset in opposite directions. thx

The Snell Type A model used left/right speakers, the C/V does not. The tweeter layout on the C/V is identical on both speakers so either speaker will work properly whether on the left or right side.

Agree with the post above

But if they are offset differently I would the one pictured as the R speaker.

I found this and they appear to be L/R

The cutout of the felt is offset to the left and to the right. This was the reason for my question.

The cutout of the felt is offset to the left and to the right. This was the reason for my question.

We understood that, but many models that have specific left and right speakers either have offset drivers/tweeters or are marked on the back as L or R.
From the pictures it makes sense to me to put the side with more felt to the outside to perhaps reduce side wall reflections, whether it will help is debatable.
With these how you position them with regard to the felt probably won't make much if any difference.

I used to have a pair of the CVs. I treated them as left right with the narrow felt cutout facing inward.
To sound their best the CVs need a lot of current. I used a pair of Threshold S500s in a vertical biamp mode to drive them.
