Wide baffle speakers are better than narrow


I'm just putting out some facts here so no one gets further misguided.

Wide baffle speakers sound much better, more natural and bring the acoustics of the recording venue with them.

Narrow baffle speakers are not as good without significant room treatment.

I'm glad no one here disagrees.

With a few neurons engaged, it should come as no surprise that vocals are best reproduced by a speaker with an average width of an average human head.
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.
