Should you ever listen to enough live music thru various Vandersteen speakers, you'll notice their drivers/crossovers are Phase and time Time correct. They are wired in the same polarity as the microphone. This allows listeners, especially me, a natural timing and feel for the music.
My take is that this is the way are brains are wired. Conventional speakers certainly do their best from a tonal standpoint, but their drivers polarity are randomly pushing forward while their other drivers are sucking. That's 180 degrees out of phase in the back direction and may explain why it sounds disjointed for me and others. It's more then just a tonal thing, its the whole experience of combined efforts and pieces that work together to create a point source, coherent sound that is musical and has no smearing, giving us the micro and macro detail without fatigue.
