Horns: Why don't they image well?


Anyone have a theory?

I head a pair of Sadurni Acoustics speakers (the Miracoli) that imaged really well. They're overall the best horns that I've heard. Very expensive, but very good sounding. 
Ok folks, my local shop finally started stocking Klipsch so I went in and listened to LaScala. 

I liked them. But....

In that room they definitely didn't image like my Focal do, but the definitely produced a solid, convincing image. Where they most notably lacked was width. Depth was decent and convincing, though not as deep as my 936. The image seemed more forward, but I was listening to unfamiliar material. 

They represented VASTLY better sound and value than the flagship Paradigm Persona models I heard next, which the place was selling half off just to get them gone. Given what I heard, I'm not surprised they're still there at that price. 
Like I said before Kosst, you're a good man. The La Scalas were playing in some pretty deep water there and held there own. Imagine optimal setup. Yes, they can image, but the dynamics make for a more lifelike presentation too, don't you think?
