Hello Ethan,
I'm upgrading my stereo which includes Martin-Logan Sequel 2's, modified for (true) bi-amping & active crossover. My approach is to do common sense things, spend where necessary, avoid silliness and hope it all accumulates into a nice system. So I have a few questions:
1. Being a di-polar radiator, it seems logical to damp the backwave as much as possible and that any "ambiance" comes from later reflections. Logical? Or can any part of the backwave be used constructively?
2. Do speaker floor spikes do anything to improve sound, especially bass? Or only provide a more secure footing on carpet? Do additional weight on speaker + spikes cause any improvement?
3. Does sharp imaging necessarily result in a narrow sweet spot? In other words, is it (theoretically at least) possible to widen the sweet spot and maintain the sharpness? Maybe with three speakers instead of two?
Thank you in advance,
Mladen

I actually tested loudspeaker isolation a few months ago:
