This is an important characteristic of a loudspeaker, and one that i am always striving towards. And i have been fairly successful. The goal to have a loudspeaker where if you close your eyes you cannot tell where they are.
Good, smooth phase esponse might well be more important than actual FR.
Unfortunately, a very human thing, id for us to concentrate on things we can measure, see, and understand. Often FR is given that role, important but often assigned attributes for which it is not responsible.
The affect of dispersion cannot really be divorced from the room and the room placement, but a smooth gradually changing pattern usually trumps soething with less well behaved dispersion.
That is very short-sighted, and not really all that important overall. Certainly any FR anomaly that stands out significantly wil guide your mind to know eher ethe speaker is, but making it disappear has more to do with spurious radiation.
A poor source of material to use as reference. Likely a significant limitation in trying to tease the most out of your loudspeaker. Garbage in, garbage out.

A question that only makes sense when the frequency of interest is defined. A sharp edge for 5k is quite different than sharp at 500 Hz.

Quod erat demonstrandum.
That sound is present on the recording, your speakers are no longer betraying it spatially.
Hi, dave. Thanks for the info.
My speaker does have good phase matching. It was something I obsessed about. With that being said, do you think phase matters at 3m?
I hear you on the GIGO. I only listed youtube for accessibility.

"Spaciousness does not equal soundstage and imaging". That line was from the vid below. I thought this vid fit the topic. Looks like the tonality is the only thing I should be thinking about in mono. The spaciousness is for stereo evaluations.

@Haze Head "What is the material like, soft, textured, etc.?" The molding is light. The outer coating is smooth and ready to paint. The inside is like a seafoam candy (crunchie bar). It is super easy to cut. If I press my thumbnail in the outer layer it is easy to leave a mark.
