Chris- Thanks for your inquiry. Unsuccessfully tried to google some info on your model speak. You can see at the Mirage site that they are going in a different direction these days but here is something for you to consider. Wide baffles dispose diffracted waveforms to arrive later in time so they are spread out and less invasive to what is being delivered on time. Spendor and Harbeth have maintained wide baffles over the years and Harbeth goes a step further by reducing the output some in the part of the frequency range that would be effected. When waveforms are reradiated by a speaker's baffle and edges they are being added to what we hear and will generally cause a boost to our frequency response in the lower bandpass of our tweeters. I believe it is Harbeth's intent to address that and to delay the arrival of diffracted waveforms in the former because the late arriving information will be out of time and phase. Your old speakers in that photo have their sides canted back. They should image with more precision altho not as well as if the surface and baffle edges adjacent to your tweeter were non reflective.

Hear your music, not your speakers
