They have baffle diffraction, of course when the sound wave hits the edges. But so do almost all speakers. Even if the baffle is flat without raised edges there is diffraction when the sound wave hits the sharp edges of a baffle unless the baffle is properly designed and slowly curves around to the sides. This is expensive so it's usually only done on the super costly speakers that often cost like a car or worse.
