Does Time alignment and Phase coherency make for a better loudspeaker?


Some designers strive for phase and time coherency.  Will it improve sound quality?

Certainly it makes for better sound staging and imaging.

...however, there are varying degrees of what the industry describes, for example, as "time alignment" out there. It can sometimes strike me as more of just a marketing thing...as though either the makers think that at least half the buyers don't really understand what a proper time alignment can attain...or that half the makers don't understand it...or both maybe, IDK. 

Everybody has their own way of making and selling speakers, or choosing them FTM. But IME when you technically do this topic justice, you do get some pretty good rewards.
