The Vittori does not suffer, neither do their owners. Who needs time alignment anyway?

Well that loaded question has a simple answer - only those that really care about things like time alignment "need it". They most likely would not even consider the Vittori because of the primitive design approach.

For those that bought Vittoris and read about time alignment somewhere and all of a sudden hear something, I think that they also do not "need" it. They were too easily manipulated by what they read. Another report that confirms that alignment is not critical or that horns have to be aligned at the mouth is more than enough to soothe their souls!

Need of Time alignment, in my opinion is an "acquired" taste like with cigars, good wine or cognac. It is the product of an investment in time, purpose and result.

The Vittori does not have the midrange and bass bin lined up either. To do so would require putting the midrange horn at least a foot behind the bass bin..... Who suffers then when the WAF flies out the window?
