I was cleaning my speakers. I found one of the screws on the driver was uneven. I tightened it up as well all other screws in both speakers. Immediately I noticed change in sound signature with lows screwed up and the image tilted to the right. Making the screws little looser made the highs diluted. After several tries, got the image right and the sound closer to the earlier one but not exact.
It is highly likely that the same brand and model can sound different if tightness of the screws is not even. How do they tighten the screws in the factory? By machine or hand? Also wood has the nature of expanding and contracting due to weather and humidity. How the manufacturers mitigate these issues?
