I didn't mean my post to seem like it was aimed at you. I was commenting in general and for that gaff I do apologize.
The fact remains true though: We all have been fooled into accepting the designers' "explanations" for the need to invert drivers in a multiple driver system. This lie has been perpetrated so often, even reviewers accept it as gospel but the fact remains is our systems are supposed to reflect reality, nothing is out of absolute polarity in real life.
I simply do not understand why so many insist on this twisted version of reality and yet spend often tens of thousands of dollars for obviously flawed product. Designers are at fault , but then so is the general listening public.
Speakers which are correctly polarized: Single Full range electrostatics, Vandersteens, Ryan Speakers ( a simple rectangular cabinet giving lie to those who believe only staggered drivers can achieve time coherency).
As one noted speaker designer has stated on numerous occasions, if perfect frequency response and polarity and time alignment were the goals of all manufacturers, shouldn't there be convergence in sound after a certain price point? The fact that even at $100K there isn't, shows that is not the goal of most if not all designers.
