Wide baffle speakers are better than narrow
I'm just putting out some facts here so no one gets further misguided.
Wide baffle speakers sound much better, more natural and bring the acoustics of the recording venue with them.
Narrow baffle speakers are not as good without significant room treatment.
I'm glad no one here disagrees.

When John Bau designed the Spica Angelus he made the baffle narrow for the woofer/midrange, but wide for the tweeter. I own a wide baffle Spendor 9/1 and a narrow baffle Gradient Revolution and each sounds quite good. Not drawing any hard conclusions, but I'm thinking that baffle size is just another element in an overall loudspeaker design. |
Don't shoot the messenger My first exposure to narrow face loudspeakers was Genesis Vs, which were slight of face + a separate powered sub with remote VC, and Polarity http://www.genesisloudspeakers.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/vandvi_brochure.pdf I was also involved in the early days of Nearfield Acoustics Pipedream loudspeakers, and later the early days of Scaena Loudspeakers Neither of these obscured the sound stage in any way, unless the system driving them was not up to it |
