Hi !
sorry for this maybe weird question.
I was watching a video on Youtube with omnidirectional speakers from MBL (gorgeous indeed).
I remember someone saying that these type of omni speakers (with 360 dispersion) have more chance to reproduce correctly the soundstage than more traditional speakers that radiate only frontally (180 degrees of polar dispersion).
I am not so sure.
If we look to a mic, it captures only the sound coming frontally its diaphragm.
To reproduce correctly the sound captured by a mic i should use a speaker that radiates only on a 180 polar angle.
Therefore i think that a traditional speaker has much more chance to reproduce a correct soundstage than an omnidirectional speaker.
I would go even further.
As a extreme a wall speaker would be even better because there will be only a 100% frontal emission.Have you ever listened to in-wall speakers ? do they have a great depth of image for instance ?
because something tells me that they are great soundstagers.
Thanks a lot for any advice.
Kind regards,
bg
