Loudspeaker time alignment

Remember Ed Long,

In 1975 Ed Long^[1] in cooperation with Ronald J. Wickersham invented the first technique to Time-Align a loudspeaker systems. In 1976 Long presented "A Time-Align Technique for Loudspeakers System Design"^[2] at the 54th AES convention demonstrating the use of the Time-Align generator to design improved crossover networks for multi-way loudspeakers systems. This technique relied on subjective evaluation of various square pulses swept through the crossover frequencies. The Time-Align Generator locked the pulse on an oscilloscope so that it could be viewed. The Time-Align technique was employed by Long on the UREI 813 Studio monitor^[3] introduced in 1977. Long also manufactured near field studio monitors from the late 1970s through the 90's utilizing the Time-Align technique. In 1977 Long trademarked Time-Align and later trademarked its derivatives, Time-Aligned and Time-Alignment. (Must include the dash). Long Licensed the Time-Align trademark to UREI, Bag End Loudspeakers and others.

YES

But no one makes a speaker to pleases everyone even Vandersteen has more then one model 

I have Vandersteen Quatros 

Yes all the other speaker manufactures are doing it wrong. However so is Vandersteen..Just go for speakers that move you emotionally and to hell with this American insecurity to get : more bass " 

Wilson Benesch also do a great job of attending to “distortion, compression, cabinet resonances and diffraction…” in addition to time and phase coherence.

They manufacture in-house virtually all of their speaker  components so there is virtually no need to compromise on integration and matching. 

It clearly shows since their imaging is literally three-dimensional.
