When I listen to some speakers, the stereo imaging is amazing - you can
pinpoint each member of the band on the stage infront of you, yet other
speakers do not have this property.

From a design point of view, how do you go about achieving superb stereo
imaging?

Thanks for any explanations...

It has a lot to do with the positions of the HF and LF drivers and your
listening position. These result in errors which can muddy the stereo
sound field. The only real solution is to use dual concentric speakers.

Another strange point: speakers with two drivers almost always produce a
better and more sharply defined stereo image than those with three drivers.
Try a LS3/5a against a Spendor BC1 and you'll see what I mean.
