Peter, I do not believe that it is possible to talks about what happens with speakers in specific acoustic environment. I do not believe in any acoustic modeling or in any rules - each case is different and each case requires own empirical approach.&...

Yes, an ongoing theme here at GSC: If it sounds good, it is good.  Conversely, no matter the "logic", and no matter the "technical genius" or "technological breakthroughs", if it sounds bad, it is bad. Likewise with any sort of "logic" or "intuition"...
