In Reply to: Does a loudspeaker's time coherence matter ? posted by bunni on February 22, 2007 at 17:36:31:
Room reflections may be too loud when speakers located more than 4-5 feet away from your ears, or located close to walls, so you can lose the benefits of a speaker that can reproduce a square wave or musical transient well.The low-order 6dB/octave filters used are best for modest volumes as they usually require drivers to cover a very wide frequency band.
Time coherence seems to matter much less under 100Hz. where room reflections increasingly dominate what we hear. I prefer 24dB/octave crossovers that are far from time coherent for subwoofers ... but also prefer 6dB/octave filters with minimal phase shift above 100Hz.
