Siegfried Linkwitz is one of the great contributors to audio science. His directions always made sense and it is very hard to argue with his basic premises. I think he may have been miss stated. A speaker has to have the same dispersion pattern at all frequencies. A criteria Magnepans and certain ESLs meet better than any other kind of speaker. I'm not entirely sure but I think it would be possible to design a horn system that way. This is probably the reason the K horn is so compelling in spite of it's phase and timing errors. Linkwitz's experimentation with dipole sub woofers was an attempt to create the dispersion pattern of his dipole speakers.
Anyway, some great articles and Youtubes here.
What we listen to are illusions, illusions of musicians playing real instruments and singing. Illusions are plastic and depend on the perception of the individual which is at once complicated by other motives and emotions but as has been demonstrated under the right conditions surprisingly uniform. I think most of our differences are based on opinions formed under the wrong conditions.
