In Reply to: Can a simple crossover (cap/inductor) achieve time alignment without a stepped baffle? posted by jupiterboy on July 18, 2014 at 06:29:34:
Or not. Only a step response measurement can tell you for sure. And the time alignment, indicated by both drivers blending smoothly in a single step (see published measurements of Vandersteens, for an example), will only occur on a VERY narrow vertical listening/measuring axis. Raise or lower your head (or microphone) a few centimeters, and the time alignment goes all to hell.
How audible this will be is a whole 'nother issue. Since the effect is easily measured, it can PROBABLY be heard if you train your ears to listen for and recognize it. But since the vast majority of speakers, including the very good ones, are NOT time-aligned, and this doesn't seem to bother the vast majority of audiophiles who enjoy them, it's PROBABLY not that big a deal. Just another triviality for a few obsessed designers and audiophiles to neuroticize over.
