Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

RE: POLL: How many of you use(or would prefer to use) "time-coincident" speakers?

This is a pretty complex problem, not easily resolved by just mounting drivers on a sloped/stepped baffle. I was talking to a who guy designs speakers for a living, and he said what's really important is that both drivers are in phase *at the crossover point*, as that's where it's most notable. Of course, a driver's phase will vary as function of frequency, so getting this just right can be a bit tricky.

As others have stated, phase coherency is nice, all things being equal. But I'd prefer a speaker that didn't have a mid-bass suckout or glaring highs (but wasn't phase coherent) over one that did have those issues but was phase coherent.

It's just one part of the recipe.
