Wide baffle speakers are better than narrow

Some of my favorite speakers have had wide baffles. Spendor SP100 comes to mind.

My fave punk album

Never mind the Baffles...

 Yes large drivers do act as moving baffles with the added attraction of even more distotion... hence the curve linear and other exotic cone shapes... none of which are pistonic....

quiz time : what is the name for distortion caused by the moving baffle ? This is why each and every 3 way and up Vandersteen uses a 5” ish midrange and another reason why frequency to baffle relationships matter

oh where oh where are the legendary KEF and B&W designers that built the low diffraction heads on the flagships ????!

And the LS3/5a or Kef 101, Linn Kan , those are the BBC ( or near ) standard imaging kings....and natural vocals...

If you mount drivers on a canned ham you can sort of replicate a human head...for this to last you do need to keep the listening room very cold or have a shorter listening session followed by sandwiches.
