Reply to comment by [deleted] in omg they sound like speakers by PlotTwistItWasMe
The only decent speakers I have listened to in recent years are my friend's studio monitors and I am not that blown away by the soundstage. It just sounds like an arc of sound placed 3 feet in front of me instead of an arc of sound right in front of my face (but a similar angular size) with HD-800 + Stereo convolver.

I don't think that studio monitors are the speakers being referred to

Should be the same as any speakers except that the correct distance to sit from them will vary with the width they are placed apart.

False.
Off-axis dispersion and reflections can make a difference. Tell me a large single panel ribbon speaker has the same off-axis as say a MBL X-Treme. Those are two extreme examples of different dispersions.
