RE: "It makes some sounds or notes suddenly appear 'too loud' so engineers...

... overly-compress horns, and de-ess the singers." Etc, etc...

Assuming that the above statement accurately reflects the manner in which a majority of available recordings are made...

Do phase/time perfect loudspeakers somehow correct for these types of *mistakes* made by recording engineers? Or, do phase/time perfect speakers effectively exacerbate this dilemna?

In other words, are perfectly made recordings required in order to fully reap the benefits of the phase/time perfect loudspeaker design?

Until the day when perfectly made recordings become the standard, could we be better off using time/phase *imperfect* speakers that would seem to be (or actually are, in a twisted sort of way) a better match for all of the equally imperfect recordings that we might listen to?

Thanks in advance for taking the time to answer questions that you may deem silly. I'm no Einstein.
