Hi. You're free to enjoy your speaker all you want.
However, when driving a car, you can drive it very fast, or slow, or very very very fast.
The only way to know how fast "very very fast" is relative to another car is with quantification. Likewise with a speaker, knowing more about a speaker costing as much as a car is a worthwhile venture. If a car is designed to go 200km/h, and you're happy with just knowing that, good for you. Some of us would like to know whether 200km/h is worthwhile by weighing the consequences, as there's 100s of cars out there that may not do the same thing, but may do other things more effectively.
Regarding phase coherance, Roy argued that it's audible. IN berry berry fast terms, it's like saying there's a perceivable difference between 179.5 km/h and 180km/h. There was a lot of discussion on wether something minute should have an effect.
As someone who clearly knows little on the subject, no one is stopping you from enjoying the speakers. But claims made by the engineer regarding performance are going to be open to criticism if said performance has other drawbacks or otherwise compromises the sound, or if said performance, as with the GMA speakers, seems questionably attainable with current technology. No one is bashing GMA. None/Few of us have heard it. But we're skeptical because there's still, to our minds, little to show us why GMA is a choice worth examining.
I'm not antagonizing you either. Maybe in fact, the GMAs are excellent speakers, both subjectively and objectively.
I'm just saying that it's nice that you love your speakers. But you, like all the others in the GMA thread, literally have 5 posts on this forum, 4 of which are in this thread. When you create an account just to talk about a speaker, it kind of blemishes your immediate credibility. How are you to convince to hear a speaker which can't be found anywhere near me, when everything you've said could easily be said about the worst boses and the best revels and the worst sonys.
Preference is a fickle thing. I can invite you to come listen to, say, the Lambda Unity Horn, because people say it sounds great. What does that mean to you? Not a thing. Maybe it sparks your interest, but how much further will you take it beyond that?
Now if you go look at the website, you'll see design explanations etc. Those are what someone like Jerry Love could look at and help see if it's worth the effort. The same applies to the Green Mountain stuff and that's why there was much discussion in that thread. Understanding speaker design isn't important, but once you begin to, you start to recognize the designs which sound great. It becomes easier to find speakers you'll probably love and identify ones you probably will not. Why do you have a problem with this?
