If designed well, can wide speakers image just as well as narrow ones?

Without being a speakerbuilder and not knowing the fundamentals behind the art, my layman's impression is that most world class imagers are always pretty narrow (10 inch or less). But then I wonder, some of the $10K plus speakers are pretty wide but yet they image so superbly. So then I wonder, how big does the width of a speaker really factor into the imaging ability. Is it the components and the crossover that do the trick? But if that is the case, again why are the narrow speakers such good imagers?
