Describe the sound of point source loudspeakers?


I have not heard any but I’m going to audition some in the near future. Can you provide any pointers or things I should be listening for? My current loudspeakers are von Schweikert db99se and they are definitely not point source. Thanks for your input.

@tuberist, to reiterate - "  Tuberist, your Schweikerts are most definitely point source loudspeakers. " - @mijostyn's opening line ... do not underestimate the db99se as a well integrated Loudspeaker System!
While Coincident Drivers are referenced as an ideal ' Point Source ' design - challenges in implementation abound.
Don't shoot yourself in the foot by giving up 99 db Sensitivity.
A suggestion ... try a different integrated ... like VAC or Octave for example.
Another audiophile version (of many such tales on this forum) and as current as the original: "The Emperor’s New Clothes"

Point source speakers create a small image even if they are huge speakers. It is like sitting at the back of the concert hall.
Hello @david_ten, my Loudspeakers Image very well in terms of proportion and coincidently are a Coaxial / Dynamic Drivers system type.
Note my above post should list Coaxial as same as Coincident - so as not to confuse an issue.
Many different system types ( loudspeaker ) image well - like one might expect ...
I think I would be more concerned with range of coverage ( audio band /
low end ) as a point of interest.

Thanks for my laugh of the day.   You must tell a whopper of a fishing story to your buddies over a beer.
