This is a common source of confusion. "Same direction" means "outward or
inward", /not/ same direction viewed from overhead. The same signal
should
produce compression or rarefaction from all speakers.


** Correct.

Phasing similar speakers is all about making the low frequency output
from
each *reinforce* the others rather than cancel.

Compared to the wavelengths of low frequency sound, woofers are a point (
hence omnidirectional ) source of sound pressure - so it is irrelevant
which way the cone faces.

Ideally, a listener should be seated at the same distance from each
speaker
so all time ( of arrival ) delays are identical and do NOT create phase
changes.

There is no such thing as correct time of arrival type of phase coherence
in modern electronic media.

** WTF is meant by "modern electronic media " ??

Got nothing to do with my comments, what ever this idiot says.



Everything is close-miked and smeared together with "pan pots"

** Pan pots do not "smear" .


and any spatial sensation is created with DSP.

** Laughably stupid and wrong.


In real life, the stereo "sweet spot" has room for one person at a time.


** Correct.

Due to the criteria I just mentioned.
