Hi guys,
I often see mention on the forums about various speakers being time aligned due to slanted baffles, adjustable modules, etc. Most of these speakers are anything but time aligned.
To verify if a speaker is time aligned, you want to look at the step response. For instance, look at this Dunlavy:

The output of the drivers arrives at the microphone simultaneously -- it is a time-aligned design. Stereophile uses an impulse response to derive the step response and therefore is a good source for verifying this information.
