I've also heard the statement uttered that harmonic distortion wasn't objectionable and that some people even like it. You and I probably heard that line from the same OEM. But I know that I can immediately hear the difference between a bass or midrange driver with an effective shorting ring and a similar one without it. So to me, the companies that say "distortion doesn't matter" are just engaging in wishful thinking. Seems most often said by companies that don't have a low-distortion part available.
