But a speaker's magnet material does not affect the sound directly. It affects the size - whether it fits or not - but not the sound itself. So how is this a sonic benefit?

Since off axis dispersion drops as a function of frequency as a physical law (it's a relation between the wavelength and the piston diameter) the only way ANY speaker has "better" off-axis response compared to another is if it has rising HF response relative to the other speaker.

So - have you measured the off-axis response of the BMW OEM speaker? Have you measured the acoustic response of that speaker in an X5, with windshield reflections of the on-axis output included?

Customers say they sound better - so they sound better. But I don't think this bullet list is why, Halston.
