But surely, saying that ignores the fact that in a real room what comes out of the back (and sides) will be reflected from the room boundaries. I think this is why the B&W 801 was in its day almost revolutionary. Because hardly any sound came out of the back (or sides) of the speaker cabinet, one could put it in almost any room and it would sound the same.
