An especially useful tool if your listening position is off axis. The speaker fires off the signal slightly before or later depending and maybe slightly louder or quieter so that both left and right channels arrive to you at the same time.

With Genelecs this is done in the GLM software. You pre measure and calibrate listening positions. For example you have the "sweet spot" but we can't always sit and listen in the one spot. Maybe you want to listen as you sit on a couch that's way off axis and you have odd distance and angles from your speakers. So you can have 3,4,5,6 different pre loaded listening positions recognized within a room. You've ran room correction tests from these positions. The GLM software algorithms have taken all of these various variations into account and may adjust the time of flight for individual speakers. The software may also bump the dB up or down in a specific frequency to get an even stereo image to the listener. It actually turns many listening positions into many different sweet spots. It's incredibly effective.

Way back when (early 1970s), the B&O Beovox M-70s and the Dahlquist DQ-10s were designed to feature ‘time coherence’….

Well - with high-impedance headphones, there is no substitute for a high-impedance OTL tube headphone amplifier:

[I actually prefer Woo WA3 (TS 5998, pair WE 396A) to LTA MZ3 (pair Sylvania 12SN7, pair MOV A2900) for driving Verite Open.]

My car infotainment settings have a screen that lets me choose between:

• Audio optimized for driver's seat, vs
• Audio optimized for all passengers

Does your infotainment system have a prompt for a 3” thick plexiglass divider between front seats / back seats…?

Mine has a 3rd option I leave on 24/7: "Audio optimized for reanimated driver"
