I've just acquired a pair of 104/2's in rather less than mint condition and wonder if anyone can help with this question.

Are the two B200's both connected in phase or is one out of phase relative to the other. nb do they both travel in the same direction at the same time, and do the crossover components for the two bass drivers create a phase difference between them?

Many thanks if anyone can help.

The woofers are acoustically in phase. i.e. they both push and suck air, in and out of the port, at the same instance in time. You would hear nothing if this were not so.

See above. Given that both units are pointing in the same direction, one cone will be going up and the other down, in order to be both pushing or pulling air through the port.

No. The woofers are connected electrically in parallel, but out-of phase because they are also mechanically in opposite orientation with respect to the port. They are acoustically in phase.
