That would break the laws of physics to have a flat panel speaker that sounded the same everywhere. Maybe more similar in more locations in a given particular room, but exactly the same everywhere is an absolute impossibility.Stepping into the pra...

I don't doubt his sincerity and efforts either. Some great products are made by such sincere guys making large efforts. And many more lousy ones are. I'm going to seek them out for a listen.

Bombaywalla, you've never designed anything, have you, or you would know what I said is true. A very poor speaker can be made that is still time coherent, and if you can't get that far in your brain you have little experience and education.

You may feel insulted....but that does not mean I'm intending to insult you. I can reprint papers on mixture flow in internal combuston engines, but that does not mean the heads I flow are perfect. It only means I can write theory. Self-published ...

Remember, that long post is essentially a non-scientific, non-specific, biased piece of salesmanship by a guy who builds products that allegedly conform to this behavior. I have no horse in the race. But I do like some speakers in each camp...thos... 
Tannoy Westminster vs Quad 989
Compared to speakers with real dynamics, on the micro and macro level, which the Westmisters have, the S5 is terribly boring and monotone to me. The Westminsters are not overgrown Quads. They don't have that stat sound, but much of the stat sound ... 
Audiophile Active Speakers?
Feed them a good source and get them out from the wall and you'll get imaging a plenty from ATC. You need to listen to them. Take off the audiophile hat about not being able to alter the sound with distorted special effect cables and all that. Thi... 
Audiophile Active Speakers?
AUDIOPHILE active speakers? As opposed to REAL SOUNDING, real world active speakers? Who would want audiophile speakers....you know, those are the kind that sell due to a review from a guy you never met, where there are absolutely no standards imp...

Remember, all these are opinions of folks based on their perceptions, with most of them marketing something (though Geddes does not sell subs). You were not there for the experiments. It is all self-reporting. So time aligned, phase aligned, time ... 
Line Magnetic owners...how quiet are they?
103db speakers here. And it's QUIET.

It's not crystal clear to me that Hales really said that, from how it is written. It does not appear to be a quote.But it would be so very refreshing to hear that honesty from a designer.

TAD and Tannoy are not time coherent. The little KEF 50 with the coincident driver is not. What does this mean to the listener? Without a listen, it means little. The TAD Reference represent some of the best speakers at any price. That little KEF ...

Bandying about technical claims by manufacturers and trying to determine how it affects the final product, whether it be a car, motorcycle, amplifier, airplane, or missile is almost totally useless. Investing hours in driving to dealers, or flying...

I would have to see the detailed measurements to accept the, IMO, unlikely results claimed by this manufacturer.

There are time and phase coherent speakers that are wonderful and there are those that are lackluster or worse. There are speakers that are not both time and phase coherent but are wonderful, and those that are lackluster or worse.Time and phase c...
