Met Richard Vandersteen today

Richard was a truck driver prior to becoming a full time audio designer / manufacturer. As such, his working class background and "average joe" approach to conversation is still quite evident. Too many folks forget their roots and leave the "little people" behind when they hit it big. What Richard lacks in "finesse" he more than makes up for in character and honesty.

As to the 5 time aligned speakers, doesn't Richard have five different full range models in his product line ??? : ) Sean

I have met Mr. Vandersteen many years ago, a straight shooter and a gentleman. How ever I do believe there are more than 5 time aligned speakers.

Richard Vandersteen makes wonderful speakers. You were lucky to have this opportunity.

To the list, I would add ACI/Dzurko, Eggleston, Legend, Meadowlark, Sequerra, and Wilson. Several Acarian, B & W, JMlabs, and Tannoy models are also time aligned. The Joseph Pearls are. The Sony ES SS line is. Myriad European mini monitors are time aligned.

In the past, are my Coincident Digital Masters(one reason they are no longer in production being it costs more/takes more time to produce a cabinet). Also in the past were some Frieds, Iris, JSE, and Near.

I am sure I can come up with more, but off the top of my head...

The Wilsons, Egglestons, and most listed above are not time
aligned. Pretty sure the JM Labs are not either.
RV is probably correct, although he would argue
than time alignment is a necessary but not sufficient condition to good sound. My guesses are Dunlavy, Quad,
Thiel, Vandersteen, and ?

Meadowlark,Spica,any cross-overless single driver design(?).
