Does Phase Distortion/Shift Matter in Audio? (no*)

[DaneelOlivaw]

It was shown here that the phase change of the amplifier is not relevant for sound perception. But the reproductive accuracy of the phase difference between left and right can affect spatial perception. And this can depend on the bandwidth of the amplifier. Of course, you also need time-aligned speakers for accuracy.

^that’s^ sort of a problem, when the rating are for the radiation pattern, and the flatness of the sound versus freqnecy.
