How much does that matter in most 'domestic' applications?

Means the two waveforms won't be 'mirro images' so won't null.


An important point.


Again, what odds to anyone prepared only to pay as little as possible
for 'budget' speakers?

None. Just that the user won't be hearing clear stereo imaging.


That's a presumption I presume?



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!! :-)

That's fine. But isn't the kind of stereo imaging I have been talking
about, and hear from the main system I use. I would not be without this,
but if you don't need it, it will make your life easier. :-)


Apologies for the snips (time presses) - my observation here is that, as in
all things, there are 'degrees of 'and stereo is a good example of where
'good enough is good enough' for most people.

For myself I can only say I've never heard better stereo than I can get here
whether it's 'very good' or not; I would go onto say I only have to enjoy
the sound and be convinced by the spatiality when it applies. Tbh, I don't
care if it's 'stereo' or not - I have a lot of mono stuff and the
'spatiality' on that is/has been good enough to fool a number of people
here, in the past! Also, I listen to a lot of stuff on the move and, right
now, there's a fairly quiet, peaceful 'cello (R3) way out behind my monitor
somewhere!
