Large Altec, etc., speakers are wide enough that shelving down the mids/HF to flat or a little lower is usually sufficient since it will be combining with the room?s gain.

Will there be much of a difference between the stonehenge V(22") or the altec 620(26") cabinets baffle width in room ?

Is baffle height just as important? What are the trade offs?
