Some perhaps,
If you set up your speakers outdoors at the normal listening distance (have bbq and or a beer etc why not) and listen to your favorite recordings, you will likely hear it sounds very bass shy without the room containment but also the most realistic stereo image you ever heard from those same speakers. Seriously, if your system and circumstances allow it, do try your existing system, hear what it does minus the room. This is a good reality check.
If you listen for a while and then move them back inside the difference the speakers interaction with the room makes will be clearer where words can't. Bottom line, side wall and other horizontal reflections normally "do not add" to the recorded stereo image and it's only in a room, that you may hear any of the energy radiated other then direct sound where you are on the couch. . If you have ever been in an anechoic chamber, my impression is without the floor reflections, it's a very uncomfortable, un-natural feeling (not to mention walking on springy wire mesh)
Average room spectrum;
So lets pretend you have a large mostly bare room and you have a speaker on a stand and a measurement system. To make it simple we measure with pink noise on axis and we see the on axis frequency response AND then we take the mic and move it to a bunch of random locations and integrate that, this is the Average room spectrum and these two responses are different why?.
If you have ever heard a classic Altec Voice of the Theater, they can sound very good on axis but walk around the room and they sound very dark because up high they are very directional and there is little energy in the room up high outside the narrow pattern. The Average room spectrum is significantly rolled off.
On the other hand a true omni speaker has constant directivty and so off axis, the music "sounds (essentially) the same" as between the two speakers where the stereo image can be.
To the degree a loudspeakers directivity can be made "constant" vs frequency, this means the off axis spectrum stays roughly the same as on the axis spectrum, just quieter gets quieter as you move off axis. In commercial sound, a common "Trick" we use is to use such a horn above the the front row and aimed at the back row. This allows a "point source" who's on axis spl to falls at the normal inverse square, to produce a near constant spl in the audience plane over a considerable distance.
Here, this is old sound check for Demo Mike did at "a large space" but you get the idea, the 3 Synergy Horns are the black thing under the score board, the SPL and sound quality is very consistent, no lobes and nulls.
