Phase issues with horns... yeah. My system is far from being phase and time coherent, being three ways (with folded bass horn) + direct radiating subs, and tri-amped with analogue crossover.
It has me worried sometimes; but then when I listen to my system after listening to a more coherent, cone and dome system (for exemple, my friend's Focal 927Be), I don't cover my ears in awe because of the "horrible phase issues". Both sound like music to me, albeit with a very different flavor.
I already tried placing the tweeter more on the back, aligned with the midrange driver, and it wasn't "better" to my ears. No measurements, but in the end, my ears get to decide, so...
I suppose "in theory" it could be better, but in truth, I prefer the "sound" of analogue circuits, and I chose that compromise over another.
