Vandersteen Speakers.. Are All Other Speaker Makers Doing It Wrong ?

I agree!

My speakers are designed for time domain and phase and are not Vandersteen. 😊

It is hard to claim objective superiority with a speaker that is not able to get the output signal to look like the input.

First order XOs also help to smoothly blend directivity.`

distortion, compression, cabinet resonances and diffraction still need to be addressed… but most of the time/phase correct speakers are keeping as keen eye on things.

Let's face it, not everyone is sensitive to time and phase correct speakers.

Yeah Bob,

I am not 100% sure that I am either, but maybe I am…and that is why I ended up with them?

A lot of people think so.  It just depends on what is important to you.  I'm never selling my Thiels.  I can't be sure that I like them because of the time/phase coherence but I have no interest in changing.  There's a lot of discussion of this on the Thiel thread.  The theory is that when the wave gets to you in its correct form your brain doesn't have to do a bunch of work to fix the distorted signal, and you can just relax and enjoy.

No JBL!
