Time Phase/Coherence-Vandy 5A vs. SL M-1


A couple of questions/comments:

I have had the opportunity to recently audition both the Vandersteen 5A and Soundlab M-1 speakers. I thought they were both excellent speakers.

1. I have read quite a bit about time and phase coherence in speakers. How important is this parameter in a loudspeaker?

2. Are Soundlab M-1 speakers time and phase coherent? From what I remember reading, Richard Vandersteen did not think panel speakers could be time and phase coherent.

Thanks.

So let me ask you - will your purchase decision be based on which loudspeaker sounded best to YOUR ears, or will it be based on someone else's answers to technical/philosophical questions about those speakers?
