In Reply to: What makes a speaker image well ? posted by bunni on November 7, 2006 at 15:17:44:
One of the main thngs that help a pair of speakers image well is a close match between the stereo pair.This has to do with how closely the drivers match, and how closely the crossover components match (or have been used to create a match between the final output of the SYSTEM by trimming certain component values).
Of course, to get all of the best imaging, it helps if the speakers have good time domain behavior, and good transient response, but these things are really secondary to precise amplitude output matching (otherwise known as frequency response).
One other factor is the dispersion, or lack of it, in a speaker. Speakers that control their sound output at different angles, may help reduce the amount of room reflections, which are often unbalanced acoustically, and do not help the imaging. In this respect, horn loaded systems, or controlled dispersion designs, can have a slight advantage over wide dispersion speakers.
