You can try to dismiss my experience with your speakers and having listened well over a thousand live acts, but it ain't gonna work.
There was no lack at all of very specific imaging with those LaScala. It was at least as well defined as my Focal if not more so on account of the more forward presentation. I'd need to move into a warehouse before I had enough space for those speakers to begin producing any kind of amorphous soundstage. They extracted every ounce of detail and position from the recording and effortless placed it with hyper-realistic exactitude within the boundaries of those speakers.
Ralph is very right in his assertion that most often dynamics are the product of high order distortion. That's the kind of dynamics I tend to hear in acoustic theater performances. I'd much rather listen to an orchestra recorded in a proper studio or live outside.
I'll need to listen more, but at this point I'm still convinced that if you want the best imaging possible with the most realistic, convincing dynamics, conventional speaker are your only options.
