Anyone have a theory?

Kosst, To each his own. I am not sure you wrote want you really wanted to say. In your latest description above, you gave Kudos to what you heard. Besides, I am not trying to dismiss anything you say, nor any opinion you have. Early on when we first communicated, you indicated you did not like the sound of live horns, as well as many other live instruments, which was interesting to me, as you, and other members of your family, played instruments. I understand the fact that you prefer hifi sound as opposed to live sound. Your last statement is amusing. Again, enjoy your dynamic speakers, as I will enjoy my horn speakers. No need to continue on this path. It is all about the music. Enjoy !MrD. 
Don't know whether you would consider these horn speakers, but they are superb and the image well:

Funny...one of the first statements I hear when people listen to my customized pre 2006 Avantgardes is how well they image.

Listening to a lot of other systems I tend to agree...my Horns do indeed image well!

Of course it probably helps that I listen in a 1250 sq. ft. studio/loft with 16 ft. high ceilings!

Yes, thank you for the constant, daily reminder of your studio loft, connections to important people and access to recording studios. Thank you for letting every corner of the internet know of your advantages in life and in this hobby.
I'm not sure what acoustic advantage a loft with 16 foot ceilings would provide, unless you got to keep some rugs, wall hangings, and soft furniture after the divorce.
