[QUOTE="croak, post: 76841, member: 361"] Yup, stereo image should justt be mirror image if L and R swapped. However, if one speaker is out of relative phase with the other you loose bass, central image vanishes, stuff comes from all over the place. I really suspect the OP may have had his +/- reversed on one of the speaker leads somewhere and thus had speakers out of relative phase. Then when doing the absolute phase reversal on both speaker leads his paying extra attention to getting this sorted just put the speakers back in relative phase (but out of absolute phase). IOW, I suspect that if Simphiwes now goes back to + to + and - to - everywhere, things will still be OK as it does not make THAT big a difference like he described imo. If one ends up connecting one bass mid driver out of relative phase to all other drivers in a bi wire system it can be a real swine to pick up by just listening. Imaging is there but not right and tonally obviously the L and R cancel out some of the bass notes making things sound thin. Complete relative phase problem is quite easy to hear. [/QUOTE]
