Brands w/ first order x-over, time & phase aligned

Just curious about what other companies use this approach other than Vandersteen, Green Mountain, and Thiel.

I currently own Vandersteen 2c's, and I may consider trying out a different brand if somebody recommends it. However, I love the Vandersteen sound, and I'm guessing that they are tough to beat.

Meadowlark Audio, long defunct, is one brand that used first order xovers and time/phase aligned drivers. I have owned three different models and still enjoy my old trusty Kestrels.

Audio Physic offers time/phased aligned drivers now. As for first order crossovers, I believe I read that once but can't swear to it. I will say the Tempo offers about as holographic a sound as you'll hear.

In response to the poster who said thinks the Vandy Treo's and Quads are...they are....I love my Treo's....Vandy's only speaker that isn't is the model 1

Not sure why you say this. From Vandersteen's web site,"The Model 1Ci is a time- and phase-correct speaker constructed in such a way that the alignment and positioning of the drivers allow a point-source wave front and maximize the phase coherence of the loudspeaker at the listening position. Dimensional Purity in a shockingly affordable full-range speaker."
