Wide baffle speakers are better than narrow

Right. I was having such a hard time hearing the natural acoustic of the recording venue. Total Contact, Omega E-mats, BDR Cones, thousands wasted on Synergistic cables, HFT, ECT, heck I even tried Cable Elevators. Nothing helped. 

Until I cut a hole in a 4x8 sheet of plywood. Now with the wide baffle, amazing!

So does that mean the In-wall speakers are the way to go?

In any event,  it certainly cuts the need for baffle step compensation. 

thousands wasted on Synergistic cables,

You be you, @millercarbon

I’m thinking of every thing from the wide-baffle Arnie Nudell Infinity and Genesis to the Sonus Faber Stradivari here.

Those wide baffles are magic.

Of course I’m not taking this conversation very seriously. :-)

So does that mean the In-wall speakers are the way to go?

Allison and Snell kind of sort of pointed us in that way, or at least using the rear wall as a part of the speaker, same with Klipsch.
