Speaker popularity

Definitely a "quarantined  for too long" question.

Take up croquet. As long as we don't see a Yoko Ono, thread, we're good.

Yes, and night and day.

Everything I wire inside the box is in phase too. No wiring out of phase for better measurements, no cheating.. lol

Thanks old one for answering the question. It's OK, TJ is working on his post numbers.

So yes, how would you describe the difference?

Would better measurements be achieved by wiring only one speaker out of phase?

Thanks again 

The absolute phase of recordings is not consistent. Most are in "normal" polarity but quite a few are in reverse polarity, perhaps because one of the preamps or processors in the studio inverted phase.

Some preamps have a polarity reversal switch (mine does) so that you don’t have to switch the speaker wires to listen for which way sounds correct.

It's all good, I know about a few of the recording tricks too. Hope we don't have to start listening to records backwards again, "Paul is Dead" LOL

It's something I prefer, wiring in phase. I use planars/ribbons 300 hz >
Round speakers 300 hz <, in a 4 way... and/with subs.  

My older Macs have, L,R, reverse, ect.

I've seen a lot of speakers wired out of phase when I was looking, I quit about 25 years ago. I knew something sounded weak, bad, or both. Normally mids were washed out by doing that.. Same time of super hot tweeter. Actually need tone control in cables to fix it.  Yea, old school here.  BUT I do use a processor for 300 hz <.. Easy peasy for phase correction, timing, delay, and thresholds, if needed.  Servo bass same way, in phase, but it has a processor, and a step baffle, no phase issues.
