prof I have a pair of Legacy Focus (originals) in the main listening room and a pair of their Signature IIIs in the living room.
I have managed to achieve a wide sweet spot only recently. I aim my speakers so that I can just see the inside sides from the center seat 13 feet away. Then I use two pair of Shakti Hallographs and 32 SR HFTs mostly on the walls (none on the face of the speakers though-doesn't work for me). My room is larger at 25' X 23'. I couldn't imagine the speakers at a 45/45 angle towards me.
The sound within four feet to the left and right of center now does not have a pronounced sound from the closest speaker on that side. I find that a very happy situation as just two years ago, there was a severe drop off of sound from the further speaker toward the 5' edges away from the center spot.
I've heard several Audio Physic speakers and that's something they're great at, disappearing from the room and creating a wide listening area. Many small monitors can do that too but are destined for smaller rooms. My former 5 pairs of high end (at the time) electrostats were not good for wide listening areas. They beamed the sound towards the center spot (heard the same from Sanders speakers-really narrow listening area).
Among the best disappearing speakers are omnidirectional speakers. Recently, I auditioned the Carver Amazing speakers which excelled in the mids and highs sending sound evenly throughout the large room (as well as incredible stable imaging).
