Is there measurement that correlates with cohesive/pinpoint imaging?

because a large baffle destroys time information while functioning as a mechanical averaging machine

Wait, what? Some of the best sounding, best imaging speakers I've ever heard are the Sonus Faber Stradivari and Snell A/IIIs. 

You can make a wide baffle with low diffraction, and if you can go for it. :)

Best,

Look at active speakers using DSP like Kii and Dutch and Dutch as well as studio monitors. 

I had a pair of Snell back in the day.... and Thiel, ESL63, Vandersteen..... I still have them, except....for the Snell. I certainly recognize the genius of Peter and they were quite good....

a curved baffle helps but I don’t think it’s SOTA any more....

I'm afraid all the components in the Snell A/III are outclasssed today, but for imaging and impact, amazing.  The SF Stradivari are much newer and deal with the diffraction issue very differently than a large box does.  Outstanding.

of course

measurements and specs explain everything, what is the matter with you?

in fact, they mean so much, are so meaningful and all encompassing, that i think will soon give up listening to music altogether and just log in and read ASR

i will have the specs and measurements on everything having to do with hifi, won’t even need music anymore

you’ll need to excuse me now, its late and i need to cuddle in bed with my oscilloscope
