Why not horns?
Different / Better example........Herman, here is a different example of a speaker that is "time aligned" but with a high order crossover. (Linkwitz/Riley I believe.)All of the drivers are in the same polarity as well. It's easier to see the delay...

Why not horns?
Herman, there certainly has been much debate over the merits of time coherency. Just to clarify one point first. The way they describe it, time "coherent" demands time "alignment". But the reverse is not true. You're point about phase is certainly... 
Why not horns?
Cool! Thanks Mapman.Ima check that out. 
Jeff Rowland 8T with Wilson Sasha w/p?
All of the Rowland equipment is Audio Porn. The fact that it sounds stellar is icing!! :DOne of my great regrets is selling the Model 2 that I had. Ugh! 
Why not horns?
I've been a Time Coherent "fanboy" ever since I first encountered and sold Dunlavy speakers about 15 years ago. And I'm just as passionate about that design as you guys are with horns. But, having a lot of experience with Avantgarde as well, it ha... 
Why not horns?
Thank you for added information Herman. I appreciate it.I suppose I was using the looser definitions of "unique" as in "distinctly characteristic" or "unusual". (Meriam-Webster goes into a drawn out discussion over the battle of useage on this wor... 
Why not horns?
Herman,I reread your most recent post. Good information. Thanks.I'm curious. How exactly did you go about implementing a digital crossover without any phase shifts or time issues? 
Why not horns?
Herman, believe me, I have no desire or intention of getting into another worthless debate with you.But you do force me to defend myself.First, I never said that Thiel was the only time coherent speaker out there. Having owned Meadowlark as well a... 
Why not horns?
"My mid-tweets are delayed so I am time aligned." - HermanPlease define time aligned. My point, in this case, is that unless you changed out the crossovers in your speakers you may have some sort of "alignment" but the bass is still lagging the mi... 
Why not horns?
Better bass from horns versus a Thiel??Define better.It may have more "punch" but it's severely delayed.Pick your compromise. 
Jeff Rowland 8T with Wilson Sasha w/p?
Goldorak points out what I was going to say. That the Sashas are actually a fairly difficult load in terms of impedance.That being said, the Rowland 8T will have no problem powering them.The amps from Rowland during that time had no problem doubli... 
Why not horns?
"I for one know its possible to design very good sounding accurate loudspeakers of most any design and transducer type so why not with horns?" - JohnKGood sounding? Certailny.Accurate?? By what definition? 
Wilson Sophia 3
The Sophia3 I was listening to were hooked up to an all B.A.T. system. D5 cd player, 3i preamp, and 220 amplifier. Kubala-sosna Emotion cabling throughout. The bass was pretty good. The speakers definitely retained the "full" quality of the Wilson... 
Amplifier suggestion for Dynaudio Sapphire
I spent some time with the Saphires and never really got into them. There wasn't anything to complain about. They just didn't thrill me.THEN, I hooked them up to a BAT VK-250SE amplifier and WHOA! did they come alive. Completely changed the charac...
