1. if you don't mind a "distorted" version of reality which does not reflect what occurs in real life, so be it. That is fine by me. AS I have already stated music is very subjective.
2. If you do wish to hear music as the artist played it and meant to be, the polsirty, the timing of th drivers need to be consistent with real life, at least for acoustical performances.
Even if amplified performances may be out of polarity but, if the artist wanted that effect, sgouldn't your transducers reflect that?
I listed Quad 57's, the original Quads. By all account limited in frequency response and severely limited in dispersion. The common aphorism is that you have to loct your head in place to get any sense of imaging. Funny after so many decades it is still sought after.
Any audiophile needs to confront his personal reality,. You have already stated that frequency response and dispersion are your primary goals. That's the first step and in stating it , you are a brave man, because many would disagree, as obviously I am. The timing information for me is crucial because it places fine musical nuance in proper relationship to individual members i the performing ensemble. It places the harmonic structure of any held notes in proper balance. It gives better spatial cues for live and even studio performances where the ambient details are more exposed.
Those things may not be important to you, but they are for me. To have the vast majority of designs ignore my wants and desires and to discount the reality is bothersome, to say the least. However, at least they can cater to your taste.
