Looking for info on the Mon 10 crossover

Not much info: I just want to know if it appears that they did anything special the midwoof network to help improve the horizontal off-axis response. Are the midwoofers in series or parallel? It's not any kind of 2.5-way, cascaded array-type thing, is it?
I've listened to Monitor 10's before and I never noticed any weird off-axis response or lobing. My own design that uses a horizontal array of side-by-side midwoofers is giving me fits: I can get a nice on-axis response, but as little as 15 degrees off, it stinks. If I tune for the off-axis, on-axis stinks. Maybe I'm crossing too high.
The horizontal array is generally a no-no, for this reason. But Polk apparently made it work. I'm just trying to learn some tricks.
