In Reply to: Is it one, or both speakers? Not that I can't try it myself! nt posted by oldmkvi on March 23, 2007 at 09:26:17:
You must always change BOTH channels to reverse Absolute Polarity, otherwise you are changing the channel phase relationship and your stereo image will be inside-out.Just to be clear, the correct absolute polarity is when a positive-going wavefront on the recording is reproduced as a positive-going wavefront from the speaker to the listener. Sometimes (but may be difficult to see) this is visible on the woofers with a bass drum "whack" in a classical recording or the kick drum in a non-classical recording. The leading edge of the "whack" should make the speaker move forward, NOT pull inward.
