Chocolate lover, to try and answer your query, the way that diffraction effects our end game is twofold. When diffracted waveforms sum in, they are late arriving and out of time and phase. They can be additive to our frequency response unless the designer recognizes this and has compensated for it. Secondly, because they are late arriving and out of time and phase, they will slightly confuse proper imaging and depth of field. So, the speaker with diffraction effects will benefit from a smoother, more wholesome sound of instruments and voice with truer imaging and separation in space, AND a more 3D soundfield . . sans diffraction. Whatever the recording tho noticable on some more than others. I listen to a lot of acoustical music recorded on location myself and want ALL the information as truthful as I can get it. Rounding away a speaker's cabinet edges is a step in the right direction regardless if the frequency response is linear or not. Cheers.
