Brf, I have not experimented with that. There is another situation that comes up. Though 2-channel is my primary listening mode, occasionally I like to put on multichannel SACD. The more I think about it, my second preamp choice makes more sense. Thanks again and happy listening!
Reverse Phase Preamp with HT Bypass
I am considering purchase of reverse/inverted phase preamp. So, here is the situation as I understand it:
- In order to have the preamp operate properly, the phasing of my speakers need to be reversed. They are bi-wired, so the wiring of the positive (red) versus negative (black) speaker wire needs to be reversed coming from the amp on both posts.
- That means instead of red (positive) speaker wire to red (positive) post, it would now be red (positive) speaker wire to black (negative) post ... is that correct?
Issue: The way my system is set up now with pre/pro (AVR with HT and 2-channel capabilities) going into speakers "in phase" ... everything seems to be working properly. If I reverse the phase - in order to accommodate the new preamp reverse phasing - then what happens when control is returned to the AVR pre/pro via HT bypass? At that point the AVR pre/pro output load is "in phase" going into "reverse phase" speakers in the FL/FR channels of a 5.1 configuration. Will that create a phasing issue? If so, then what is a possible workaround? Please help me understand.
