In a podcast at UltimateAV recently, JA stated that loudspeakers would have to be the same shape of the instrument they're reproducing for it to have correct fidelity. But most of the music we listen to is a *blend* of instruments whose soundwaves cancel each other out.
Then, for vocal music, I doubt the person(s) physical shape would matter. The same goes for piano - is it affected by the shape of its soundboard ? How about digital pianos ? What "shape" do they have ?
I don't doubt for a *solo* instrument the shape of speakers might matter...but thankfully, most of us are exempt from this situation.
