Listen at 18:35 into the interview when Brian May explains how they placed the microphones during their recordings. Many mic placements were tested and if I understood correctly mics were placed a bit all over the place when recording. If it is the recorded sound then shouldn't more omni sound radiating speakers be used for playback? If you want it to sound the way Queen wanted it to sound, or am I thinking wrong now?
The whole video is interesting, so I can recommend it.
The brown sound that Brian May mentions is described here:
Even IF it were possible to reproduce Queen's music as closely as possible then it could lead to another problem, or challenge. When you then listen to other music, which is recorded in a different way it would be incredibly difficult and expensive to keep changing speakers every time you changed a song.
