But isn’t that, as Chris pointed out, exactly what the receiver does when you set the speaker distances.
Nearly, the same thing. That's the standard setup in a receiver, setting the actual speaker distances. Either by hand, or it's auto-setup. The distance setting computes and applies the proper delay for speakers which are not equidistant from the listening position.
Perhaps I miss-understood HAY’s question. I thought he was asking about adding additional delay on top of what setting the distance settings would do.
