Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

Does a sources time coherence matter.

I like BW's response below - the brain can pick out the difference between real and reproduced sources even when "frequency response is shot to hell" I always thought my best loudspeakers are one's that sounded "Real" when outside the room they are playing in. Not all of my loudspeakers have had that quality. I think it has a bit to do with time coherence - but also the ration of direct to overall power response.

But I digress... Most sources are not time coherent - a stereo recording using spaced onmi microphones would be the closest thing. But add a third microphone and everything goes amuck. The alone studio work where that time delay between sources can be months! I thing that most of the time with most of the sources time coherence is probably a somewhat lower priority.
