Most of Thiel's speakers have demonstrated to me how a single aspect which I think is incorrect can sour the entire speaker and the listening experience. I could never get past the aggressive/forward quality of the treble. To me JT efforts to achieve time/phase alightment did so at tremendous expense. Check out the complexity of many of his crossover designs.

I am not always the model of all things Buddhist, which is also why I asked the question ending in the question mark. |
@audition__audio , That different time correct loudspeakers have different tonal balances suggest that your complaint might be the result of something other than time correctness. Other than the Thiel CS 5 and 5i, I don’t think the other Thiel models cross-overs are that much more extrodinarily complex than some others. While you are certainly entitled to your opinion and indeed many other’s share it too, the Thiel’s have also been reviewed by others as having something of the opposite impresson. They tend to measure relatively flat.

@rooze I wonder if the Evolution Acoustics MM3s which have a family resemblence to Dunlavy Vs have similar time alignment. Does anyone know?
Despite the truly great sound emanating from Dunlavy's, I cannot tolerate single point/seat listening. Sure, it's great for me, but not for my wife and my friends who sit across a 10 foot couch. I am looking at speakers more like Von Schweikert's which have a very broad listening/seating area for tonal equality many feet in width. My wife hated the Monolith IIIs in 1997 prior to my getting Legacy Focuses and double pair of Hallographs. |
