There are good speakers and bad speakers and with the number of good speakers that are not touting "phase" or "time" aligned it suggests it is not a key selling point for all good speakers. If course if you screw one of these up it is bad. Yes, many of the good speakers are not flat fronted and so many are. My experiments with it found that it is a lot more important to move your ears from the nipple of the sound field to the boob. That alone makes a large difference, more than moving the tweeter back to get the VCs aligned or to add/subtract components to try for phase adjustments.When you listen to an orchestra with a row of 22 violins, is that phase or time aligned?
I am at work with a meeting in 90 seconds so sorry if some poor wording is making me look like a fool, I know I am not clear on something up there.
If you hear it then more power to you. If you are totally convinced this trait makes it better then more power to you. You have probably had the same gear for years and are happy, more than I can say for me!
Now I have to go discuss why Nigeria is using two brands of CD4 machines and only one is in their national algorithm.
