Wait, what? When they are in the kitchen, where are you sitting? It's true that some speakers* sound really open-but truly the same would seem to defy physics. Unless you're sitting right in front of them in the kitchen; in that case sure.
*(Wharfedale's Linton Heritage and Diamond 11.2, both sounded really nice throughout Audio Element's shop, unlike the EVO 4.4 which had a narrow sweet spot).
Hehehe. I mean when walking around the house. I could be stood in the kitchen and I hear no loss of detail at all. I think that's the benefit of a soft dome tweeter as opposed to a Ray gun RAAL tweeter...?
