Revel or Vandersteins 3A's /Which is better?

Just to clairify I had the 3A's not the 3A sigs. I would however like to try the Vandersteen 3A sigs. Have heard so many good things about them and did like the way they sounded at the dealer!

Can you clarify what you mean by "removing harmonic content"?

"harmonic content"
I take it ='s fidelity of the musical image.
IOW fluid/neutrality/harmony of fq's/non-attacking sound..
As opposed to coarse/grainy/boomy/tin treble/tiresome after 30 minutes. .

well, it's simple. If you purposely have some of the drivers, even one, out of electrical phase with the other drivers, then there is no way all the harmonic content of timbre will be produced because, by design again, out of phase firing of part of the frequency response will actively remove content. Those step reponse measurements are, in my opinion, accurate and revealing of what a speaker is and is not capable of doing. A 30,000 Hz bandwidth pulse reveals what is going on in the time domain and it is simply a matter of when that speaker manufacturers finally realize this is a gotta have spec. Nuff said.

Nuff said.

As long as you don't choose a speaker by actually listening to it, you're dead right. Nuff said.
