"Phase/time coherent and PA systems do not go together, for true time/phase alignment can come only by using a 1st order crossover."
A false premise. The use of digital crossovers allows the use of high order crossovers without the phase problems of high order analog crossovers.Ed Long and Doug Stax claimed phase coherency, or at least time alingment, with Long's Urei monitors and Stax's Mastering Lab crossovers for the Altec 604 coax, this was the setup in the Big Reds.
Tom Danley makes phase coherent PA gear and understands this issue on a level far over my head. There is some info from Tom over on the HE asylum right now about his take on this. If you want to go over there and question him, he can explain it far better than I.Go over and talk to Tom.
