Who’d a thunk this would ever have such a happy ending? It’s a new day dawning! 
Which is the best King Crimson remaster?
I don’t know but I ordered this and can’t wait to wear it. ffcheer mask-King Crimson Unisex Outdoor reuseable mask https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08TR95KHH/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_GRX7Z9X5WCP5EH790Y10?_encoding=UTF8... 
If you don't have a wide sweet spot, are you really an audiophile?
The lost focus and diffuse sound rob dynamics, focus, and tonality.Not true. You just have to hear it done correctly and well. You still might not like it. It’s different and different strokes...... 
If you don't have a wide sweet spot, are you really an audiophile?
There are some real curmudgeons out there.   Do they even have a sweet spot? 
If you don't have a wide sweet spot, are you really an audiophile?
a point source (Tannoy, Shindo, Duevel, Fostex) creates much better integration of direct and indirect sound as well as a larger sweet spot The other speakers I own and enjoy besides my two pair of Ohm Walsh are KEF ls50 (originals and metas). T... 
If you don't have a wide sweet spot, are you really an audiophile?
Yes, indeed, though the Ohm Walsh crowd seems to be OK with this. Maybe because some were only omni’s up to a point? Technology | Ohm Speakers | Custom Audiophile Speakers for Music & Home Theater Regarding room interactions, you look at the...

Well get a pair of Ohm Walsh then and be done with it. No need to fret on endlessly about this one.Or mbl. Or German Physiks. Those will set you back financially a good bit more though.   
Are the new Ohm Walsh speakers Audiophile quality?
Well KEF literature on the product or Uni-Q certainly makes little or no explicit claim regarding coherency and the crossover is not simple. But the Uni-q is essentially a point source driver so there is that.I guess its reviews where I’ve read re... 
Are the new Ohm Walsh speakers Audiophile quality?
Well here is the published skinny:https://ohmspeaker.com/technology/#coherent-line-source-driverSays they are “coherent” ie Coherent Line Source. All I can add is they both look and sound coherent to me. I also have kef ls50 metas. Those look and ...
