Here you are describing phase issues, not polarity. This is one of the reasons a heavily multimiked classical recording has always sounded bogus: the sour, phasey comb-filtered sound.Some companies (such as DG) are going back to their multitrack masters and applying time delay to the spot mikes to bring them in time with the stereo pair. (DG can do this as they have always made a "map" of every mike's location for every recording they made.) This makes a huge improvement. I wish we could take the technique to other companies' output!
