Having owned one of the flattest (on axis and off axis) response speakers available (Amphion Argon3), I don't think it is as vital as phase response. I'd take a bit of frequency anomalies if they meant a more accurate phase / transient response.
I agree. However I was completely astonished by what a bit of Eq did to the sound of the KEFs. Of course the phase would have been affected as well as the amplitude, maybe it was the phase change that made the difference?
Phase/transient response matters most at LF and that's where my bass extenders are better than almost anything.
