There are some very interesting and informative threads in the archives. Type in "phase coherent" and "time coherent" in the search archive. I'm a believer in time and phase coherent speakers,assuming all other parameters are properly dealt with. Still, what ultimately matters is what speakers sound best in your system and in your particular listening room.
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.
