I also find it intriguing that:

· It's reproducible and therefore controllable
And then a couple of people still insist on blabbering irrelevant nonsense, defending a book they wrote or acting like a sockpuppet.
I started this thread to hear how often other ME's checked for absolute polarity - not to start a moronic discussion questioning absolute polarity as a phenomenon or whether we can check and control it. |
I checked the phase on your speakers and came up with this from KH site:
You do have some phase distortion in the 90-250Hz area where the perception of absolute polarity and phase distortion is strong.
So, this could explain why you hear such a drastic difference.
With a minimum phase system you aren't gonna hear it that well. Thats kind of funny with this subject, the worst gear you got the better you will hear the phenomenon
