Wide baffle speakers are better than narrow

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

Wide-baffle speakers are capable of excellent imaging if competently designed, better than narrow towers in many cases.

Listening to my Audio Note AN-J's I would have to agree. Also I feel like I read an article on wide baffle speakers recently and can't recall wear.

Also massive self unaware irony alert! kenjit just called you a troll.

I’m still hungry to hear Spatial Turbos and hear what OB bass is all about.

In 1985 I had these wide baffle boxes into the Technics "rack" setup.

Replace the passive radiators, good as new.

 Got rid of mine last year,which were mothballed for some 30 years.
Attached  them with zip cord, fabulous faux fi!

I hooked them up before letting them go, they surprisingly  performed pretty good with my current tubed rig. 

Made in Canoga Park, Ca. Weighed 60-70lbs. Made the so-so rack system ROCK.  Especially with those still new CD's. Rarely used the plasticky linear table.
