Wide baffle speakers are better than narrow

HELOMECH has hearing issues and should just buy a Kenwood stack from the 1990's. VANDERSTEENS take weeks maybe months to break in. Setting them up and doing critical listening after a couple hrs break in is nonsense. You didnt even get a chance to hear what the loudspeaker could do. Instead all you loving this wide baffle crap sure must love the sound of phase and time distortion as well as the reflective smearing that goes on with wide baffles. Go minimal baffle or no baffle(electrostatic, ribbon) or go home!!!

I own many types of speakers, including panels. If a speaker doesn't sound good within 50 hours play time, I'm not going to bother with it any further. That's plenty of break-in time. I don't care how a speaker measures on paper, if it sounds bad, it's bad. I can still hear above 16kHz, my hearing is very likely superior to yours bud. Go kick rocks.

It might be said that the physics of all the requisite aspects of a perfected speaker, all disagree with one another.

Which tends to complicate any given build, into the given form of compromises... that the given builder may have chosen.

Speakers are natively acts of compromise.

@teo so very right :-) the trade space is wide

tomic....are we 'experienced' enough to cope with this? *L*

Will this be just another canned condition?!  While my amp gently weeps....it sounds 'just like buttah...." ;)
