What is the science behind a big and precise soundstage and making the speaker dissappear, in the context of designing a speaker?
Forgive me for being difficult here, but I am a bit confused. Are you subtly asking a different question than what is the topic of this thread, which we've been discussing for 53 pages now? Or is it the same?
The thread is about "properties that creates a large and precise soundstage". You are asking about "the science behind". I'm not sure how that's different, if it is.
I think it's fair to say that it's not a perfect science, we don't know exactly what properties makes it happen, and we also don't know how to measure it - otherwise we wouldn't have over 1000 posts in this thread. Why this is the case has been debated several times in this thread already (it is dependent on the room, the recording, the listener, placement, etc, before you even come to the speaker design).
I shared my initial thoughts on it in post #1, and have also shared some other reflections throughout the thread. I shared very recently in post #1034 (!) what I think the key elements are for the SBS.1 speaker specifically.
You are adding "and making the speaker disappear" to the question, but I think that's part of the same / comes with the territory. A speaker that does not disappear, will not convey a big and precise soundstage.
Finally you're concluding your question with "in the context of designing a speaker". I am not sure how that is different to the discussion we're already having, if it is. What other context is there?
