A good thing to remember is that any filter that is as selective as a given Butterworth filter will have a similar RMS delay spread as the Butterworth filter. So no free lunch on phase issues in many cases. Steve

But I'm doing a symmetric FIR with the Butterworth amplitude response.

Linear phase is overrated. :-) S.

(Butterworths are minimum phase and linear phase is not minimum phase unless it's a wire or a simple gain.) > Linear phase is overrated. :-) yeah, and what Steve said. r b-j
