good questions

CJ: ""How come I don't ever seem to visualize such strange phenomenum that the voice was at dead centre with its sibilance dislocated discretly to the right or wherever in my soundstage? Of coure, I never ever use an audio graphic equalizer. But who needs it nowadays for normal home listening.""
I make the assumption that most home listening systems are not shabbily designed as I did mine.

It's not a home system that I first tried it on, it was my big system for mobile. I didn't care about driver time delay, driver efficiency, matching of xover components, placement, or room treatments..the system was not designed for that. The reason for the eq was to tame somewhat the ragged response of the drivers.

It does, however, hoof major air when I use if for auditoriums. And it takes a beating without failure.

CJ: ""Though I don't want to comment as I have not experienced such sonic dislocation, how do you know it is due to the speakers' X-over networks (only 5% relative tolerance) instead of other more significant disorders, e.g. selective frequency deflections due to the room ceiling/wall finishes & layout?""

As you can see from the design criteria (which was, just keep working regardless of what the idiot behind the turntables does (me)), the finer points you speak of are useless..

My reason for using that example was, I've experienced it. Extreme case, yes, but very easily detectable by me. It is a reasonable assumption to believe that others can be more sensitive to the effect with better systems to listen to.
