Crossing Left and Right Speakers

@gregdude 

"For example  someone walking across the stage from l to r would appear to start in the center right walk off stage to the right"

I would think he would just go from R to L.

OP, FWIW, I misread and attributed to you statements about soundstage aberrations experienced early in this thread. Obviously I thought you were experimenting with the equipment and getting the odd results. My bad. I should have read the post more carefully. I should have been talking to jimmy2615 as he was doing the experimenting that I attributed to you.

No biggie, I thought is was hilarious. I was having fun. I experimented as well after I watched that video. And it is weird that switching speaker sides can actually have an effect.

I am a bit dumbfounded by some people’s experiences.

I recently reorganized my system on my rack, and I accidentally connected my mono amps to the wrong channels of my pre.

And all that happened, was I heard orchestral violins come from the right channel, and cellos and basses come from the left (and other instruments switching sides). The opposite as to how orchestras are set up.

No loss of center fill, no loss of the soundstage going past the outer edges of my speakers, no loss of depth. Just everything flipped.

And let me add, my system in my room creates a very large soundstage, with very good image within the soundstage. Great layering, depth, width.
