Only three manufacturers?


Playboy March issue states that speakers should reproduce the frequency, timing, and amplitude of the original sound. They state that most speakers get frequency and amplitude correct but only 3 manufacturers get the time coherence right: Vandersteen audio, Thiel, and Meadowlark audio.
What do you think about this comment and if its true are there any more manufacturers that get all 3 parameters.

We audiophiles are a special breed, we don't like the "naked" truth about speakers!!
Go figure
Geez - a non-audiophile magazine not only talks about speaker brands other than Bose or Polk Audio, but actually refers to "audiophile" speaker brands, and all you guys can do is rag on them.

No wonder people think audiophiles are weird.
Not really sure why Playboy is engendering so much animosity here.

Personally, I'm glad they are sticking their nose into speakers. Hopefully, they will reciprocate in kind and let me go noodling around in their business. I got more than a few ideas on having some of their buxom beauties respledent in all of their glory in front of me.
Could someone please explane phase correct and its positive and negative attributes in a speaker design?
Thanks-
