Hello gang,
My weekend was booked and couldn't continue my speaker work but please keep this topic alive, its great.
Ill just add that the best way for a home test of speaker phasing problems is a real good set of
Headphones.(I mean real good) You can compare your over-all system to your speakers. Even the
most untrained ears can detect an unnatural quality in voices.
The voice region is in the crossover range unfortunately.I knew I had a phasing
problem because voices had a very slight bass quality to them that weren't in the headphones.It was a mild case
of listening to a normal persons stereo, who uses the base control on FM, and when the announcer comes on,
he sounds like he is in a tube.(no base controls on my pre-amp he-he)
Phase alignment solved the problem.(later post,cant wait)

Ive heard alot about time alignment problems with Randys
speakers in the past.If you pass the headphone test on voices, dont worry about it.

I'll include a click test too. (and I have a most unusural square wave generator)
