Benefits of minimal baffle

reading reviews of rounded baffles, the sound image is better compared to it “sticking” to the baffle…. Think revel salon vs f206.

I find felt around a dome tweeter makes the highs “sharper”, clearer.

But a ball enclosure has a huge internal standing wave internally due to wavelength vs diameter. I think the egg would be best to randomize internal freq pressures….

I like the idea of a tall column. You would still need to address the circular standing wave, but maybe you can use the height to your advantage similar to a mltl……

Think the kef blade for a shape…..
 
Continuation of a correct baffling arrangement doesn't result in diffraction..

Not that all diffraction is unavoidable, and nor does all diffraction have to be a problem.

Narrow baffles are about dumping all the diffraction as soon as possible, counting on mitigating circumstances. Unfortunately it also forgoes controlling directivity.
