Several manufacturers used to advertise for a wide dispersion pattern of their loudspeaker, like the Devialet Phantom (1 speaker being enough?) or omnidirectional ones like Ohmspeakers or Bose in the last century...
There is however a contradiction between a wide dispersion and a proper stereo image due to the interaction with the room. This is probably not a big deal if the system is used for background or wallpaper music.
The opposite choice is a focused pattern like those of Kii and D&D or more generally of monitor speakers. These come with the constraint of producing a very narrow "sweet spot", making the listening activity a selfish one.
I would personally like to have a system where the dispersion pattern is adjustable like Beolab 90 speakers, kind of out of my league though...
What would you choose?
