Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

I currently have Vandy 2Ce Sig IIs

and previously used Thiel 1.6s. Both sound great and are exceptional value for the money (especially the Vandies).

But I don't think it's necessary to have time coincident drivers to get great sound. The very best speakers I've heard are: Vandersteen 7, TAD Ref One, and Vivid Giya. One has time coincident drivers, one has a concentric driver for the treble and mid-band (but is not time coincident), and the other has neither technology (but has the drivers connected with positive polarity). All designs have trade-offs and great results can be had using different approaches.
