In Reply to: Question: posted by unclestu on August 30, 2014 at 17:01:21:
Acoustical performances are never inverted in polarity as far as I know, but why bother to ask such a question? It's as if you are convinced that loudspeakers can move air exactly like acoustic instruments or acoustical ensembles do. Loudspeakers, not even the ones that you say you prefer, do not move air exactly like real music does and IMO this is one of the the main reasons why real music sounds so different than reproduced music. Even if speakers could displace air in a lifelike manner, a pair of speakers (or even severals pairs) would not necessarily sound exactly like real music does. You claim to be able to hear subtle differences and/or improvements in speakers with coherent drivers, but are you absolutely sure that what you are hearing is not being caused by some other factor within the design?I would suggest that the loudspeakers you've listed and/or listened to sound realistic (to you) primarily because of decent amplitude response and because of the way that their summed on/off axis dispersions load the room that you hear or heard them in, and less so because of how the drivers were acting. But, I can't be certain about that. Maybe you really do have the kind of special ears that relatively few others seem to have.
It is important that we choose the type of system that sounds best to our ears - regardless of what you or I or someone else says is best or most proper. Not everyone notices the difference between inverted drive an non-inverted drive, so transient response can't matter that much. Music contains a variety of aspects, not everyone's ears alert to the same aspects that ours do. Why bother to criticize the gear that someone else is attracted to by way of their own personal instincts? If you say that you like or need all drivers to beat in unison always, then I guess that's fine with me.
