This technique was developed by Liz Hare at Stereo Unlimited in Walnut Creek, CA.It works because the treble dispersion of the Magnepan ribbon is almost 180 degrees. I get as much treble by listening with the tweeter-side edges of the speakers facing forward as I do with the speakers facing forward in a normal setup.
I've got a polarity-reversal switch on my Wadia CD player that allows me to listen to most music with inverted polarity. Since I hear the rear wave first, this is the correct polarity position for my setup.
