OK, that is all very interesting but I'm going to spare myself the
effort - I 'swing the other way' and don't care about any speaker
disparity I can't really hear. I remember that I had one each of two of
those pairs of speaker mentioned above (I think the Wharfedal Diamonds
and KEF Cresta 2s) wired up for a while (one brand on the left, the
other on the right and never noticed anything. I'd bet no-one here
would have noticed either!

The 'horns' can be shoved into almost any postion (provided there's one
on the left and one on the right somewhere) and the 'image' might move a
bit but it's quite academic - the music exists independently of the
speakers, wherever they are - up to a point, obviously! (Like I said the
other day - my 'sweet spot' is all the way from my room out to the back
door!! :-)

You obviously have never experienced decent stereo. Where you can position
things across the sound stage as if you were there. And depending on the
recording from above or even behind. Without it just sounding like an
extra loudspeaker or two behind you as do all the '5.1' etc systems.

You bandy words like 'depth' etc without knowing what they mean.

You can only experience this sort of stereo with well matched and designed
speakers in a decent listening room. Not a cat in hell's chance with horns.
