The dipolar radiation pattern of course, and the fact that other than in
larger rooms, not just the measuring but also the listening takes place
with more of a nearfield effect than with a physically small speaker. And
the hashy-looking waterfall plots. These are all common factors with large
panel speakers.

On the plus size, there are no cabinet resonances. However, depending on
the skill and insight of the designers, there will be some effect from the
stretched diaphragm's "drumskin" resonance.
