How much phase shift does a "typical" speaker system introduce ( I have
AR9 and B&O M100 speakers if you know those numbers) as compared to 
the phase shift in a CD player?  Kim Rochat mentioned 180 degrees at
20 KHZ for some CD player (I have a SONY).  It seems to me
that if I move my head back (from the speakers) about 0.3 inches, that
I have caused a 180 degree phase shift at 20Khz, but less than 10 degrees
shift at 1KHz, so does a 0.3 inch headmovement have the same effect as
the total error in the CD player process or am I missing something?
Anyway, how much phase shift is caused by the speakers, and how much
by headmovement, and how do these compare in maginitude to the shift
caused by a CD at very high (audio) frequencies?
