EDIT: I should have said “FIR-capable models with sufficient tap length to produce a linear-phase speaker”.
Especially because this will concern approximately 0.1% of their target audience.
When you say "this" you are referring to phase correction?
.. but the image thrown by the T0s is HUGE.
Good question, which translates to, "I don't know." I'm sure it's related to smooth polar patterns and lack of significant diffraction artifacts, and it very well may be the width of the angle before rolloff starts.
Perhaps smarter folks might have a data-supported idea and help decrease my ignorance. My own (possibly erroneous) observation is that a small baffle seems to help in this regard. The other way is when you have massively huge baffles in super-speakers, but in those cases (unlike wee little minimonitors) things like solo guitar seem exaggerated in size; ditto most dipoles and omnis.
Rolloff of the treble with increasing angle. For point source radiators, the idealized graphs shown by Toole in his book seem to correlate well with good imaging as well as good tonal balance.
Small baffles tend to have fewer audible issues with edge diffraction, and the smaller they are, the more it's moved out of the midrange.
When you say "coupled with a sub," do you still mean stand-mounted, but crossed over to a sub?
I ran the T0s on stands with a sub. If it made the image bigger, I did not notice that. Then again, I'm one of those people who don't run the sub so high that you think, "Wow, listen to that bass!" At least since I left my teen years...
You're right, I did, despite your astonishingly good English.
