If you put a speaker in a corner, and it does 90 degrees in width, it covers the whole room. At the same time it doesn't reflect off the nearby walls, which may improve imaging.
Well, wall reflections seem to be a whole new can of worms. Where some seem to want an omnidirectional output because "instruments do that". But on the other hand i guess some might want the "beaming" properties of a big baffle to reduce side and front wall reflections?
What provides good imaging technically i really dont know.

A waveguide or array is less, an open baffle/dipole, bipole or omni is more, and a flat baffle is in the middle.
I don't agree. You are trying to do what "stereo" needs to work properly, because the instrument is recorded properly into the recording, you just reproduce it.

There is an element of personal preference. If you already have some speakers try experimenting with different positions for you and the speakers, see if you can get an idea of how different amounts of reflections from different places sound to you, could give you an idea how to proceed.
