Hi,

First, my comments that time/impulse coherence, lack of excessive phaseshift and groupdelay (also at low frequencies),  controlled (narrow) dispersion, low distortion and low compression are a requirement for accurate sound reproduction is an opinion.

However it is one commenly shared by the majority of people who understand the basics of electronic reproduction and acoustics.

Secondly, the Meyer X-10 will not make you deaf quicker than ATC, it will actually play for a given sound pressure level with much less distortion and compression than a speaker with lower maximum spl.

That BTW is fact and not opinion, as is that ALL speakers ATC makes use reflex LF alignment, use no directivity control, use no time alignment and thus are neither minimummphase or phaselinear and compared to actual state of the art monitors the distortion and compression levels are not competetive, even if they are arguably better than most average hifi speakers.

Now if you want to like ATC in spite of their obvious failings, be welcome to them, but do not fly off the handle anytime somone contends that ATC's marketing propaganda is pure and unadulterated spin on new labour levels for a product that is fairly average in the worl of high quality monitors.

I do not expect my opinions to carry any weight. I do however mostly presented facts in this thread.

You instead presented a completely unqualified insistence that there are OBJECTIVELY no better speakers than ATC, a sentiment open to extreme doubt.
