There is no substitute for cubic inch or in this case surface area

After listening to quite a few speakers, my conclusion is that if you want large enveloping soundstage, you need a lot of drivers.  

I once had a speaker with two 12in. drivers and the soundstage is just floating in the air.  None of my other speakers could do that.

Currently I have a pair of Thiel CS2.4.  It is a very good speaker but with small drivers there is really limitation to what it can do in term of soundstage size.  I really miss that.

Bigger can be, and in my case is better.  Just scored a pair of Pure Audio Project Trio 15 coaxials at AXPONA25.  Two 15 in woofers per channel.

I haven't been this immersed in the music since I got my Thiel CS3.5's. I also have a pair of Ohm Walsh 4.5000's.  Each of these speakers do some things better than the other and I'd often switch between them.

But the Pure Audio Project Trio 15 coaxials do it all better.
