Surprised no one’s mentioned, "The Wood Effect", which is the term used to define what you’ve described.

This is sort of a poll question for anyone to chime in. In general, I believe people on this forum have a good ear for finer details.
Can you tell the difference if the polarity of *both* speakers are reversed?

If yes, how would you describe the difference.
Thanks in advance:-)
