In Reply to: Does a loudspeaker's time coherence matter ? posted by bunni on February 22, 2007 at 17:36:31:
As Donald North points out, it doesn't seem to matter much to the ear. There are good speakers that are time coherent and good ones that are not. I've had both--though I must say my speakers have had good impulse responses.But I would suggest the most important aspects of speaker performance are frequency response, dispersion, and distortion. Just as important are the room acoustics and the set up of the speakers.
There are some excellent white papers on the Harman International site.
