Perhaps 1" is stretching it a bit, but not far. Once you find the sweet spot, even the slightest movement of your head will have you out of the sweet spot. At least with the Acoustat. Not a good speaker if you like to chair dance!Then again perhaps 1" is overly optimistic. At any rate, prepare to have your head in a vise and sit absolutely still. No movement allowed. Not for this kid.
The Innersound is perhaps better, but it can't be much. I just see no good reason to have a speaker beam this severly. No need to beam that bad to eliminate room effects. I think this is really more marketing hype than reality. Because of the design, the speaker beams severely and we have to have a positive for this rather large negative. The Quad ESL, as an example, has about 70-80 degree horizontal dispersion. This is still narrow enough to eliminate room interaction, especially first reflection points, in most environments yet still allows for a big sweet spot by comparison.
Not trying to trash the Innersound. I have never heard this speaker, would very much like to, and it has received many rave reviews. Still, I can just about say it is not the speaker for me just by looking at the geometry of the panel. It will be a real beamer.
