In Reply to: RE: POLL: How many of you use(or would prefer to use) "time-coincident" speakers? posted by genungo on September 04, 2014 at 08:36:45
The Vandersteen Quattro, 3A Signature, 2CE Signature, VSM, VCC-1, and VLR have all served in my systems over the years and have good performace compared to the competition. Phase coherence is typically limited to a small listening window in most of dynamic loudspeakers mentioned in this thread, and the sound quality of the Vandersteens and others may relate more to smooth tonal character than time and phase coherence.
A few loudspeakers offering time and phase coherence that might go unnoticed by most audiophiles are the DIY Sound Group Fusion-8 Alchemy and the Danley Synergy horns. Both are very interesting designs offering good performance at very different price points and serving completely different segments of the market.
Follow Ups:
I have found that time coherence lends itself to smoother response perception. I found this to be true whether it is a multi-driver or single driver setup. My Acoustats had a very flat in-room FR and were utterly relaxing to listen too. The same goes for my Ref 3as despite the worse measurements in-room. I think the perception of a well integrated and treble and smooth overall sound. It is more natural than a scrambled signal.
My limited exposure to time/phase coherent speakers suggests the same thing. I'm not sure that they sound more realistic than less coherent speakers but they do seem to be very "listenable".
