Without REALLY knowing what the recording sounded like when it was made, this isnt really a fair comparasion.
The more accurate speaker could be revealing the poor choice of microphones, placement, etc.
I feel there is no substitute for living with a speaker in your own home, and listening to many different types of music over a long period of time.
Remember, even a broken clock is correct twice a day!
As far as the phase goes, a good speaker can be designed a number of ways.
A first order crossover gives lots more IM distortion, and the dispersion pattern, especially off axis suffers.
The B&W 801 uses high order crossovers, and it is pretty much THE reference standard used by classical music recording studios.
It is important to note that a speaker with elevated response in the presence region can sound impressive.
Dont buy or do anything until you live with it for a week or so!
