Not being time and phase correct does not eliminate a speaker for me. A time and phase correct speaker has a "rightness", for lack of a better term, that a speaker that is not time and phase correct does not have IME. The negative that I have seen with them is that many of them will suffer dynamic compression when pushed hard. It is a trade off and depends on listening habits and what one truly values. As stated above, some either don't hear it or don't place that much value in that particular trait. To each their own.
