      Their first slide shows three identical speakers up front? :>)


      I agree with their observation that most home sound systems constrict the sound to a perceived area within the room boundaries, or even worse to a much smaller area between the main left and right front speakers. This leads to an unrealistic presentation of large scale music by groups such as a symphony orchestra.

      That is one reason I enjoy properly set up Magnepan speakers. The speakers themselves become sonically "invisible" and the walls of the room "disappear" -- they convey the sensation of the music coming from instruments and voices arrayed around a performing space with dimensions larger than the listening room, if that was the case where the music was recorded. For audio, that is like the visual difference between a large projection screen that subtends a very wide viewing angle, drawing us into the scene, versus a small TV whose image looks more like a postage stamp stuck on a piece of plywood. :>)
