Today, I brought new Monitors in the Studio, set them up and tried to evaluate them by switching between 3 different pairs, 2 actives (1 and 3) and one passive Speaker (2).

Well - the new toy on 3 somehow sounded strange, when switching between sets. The whole Image changed in a way of "perspective"... but only between this pair compared to the others - when I switched the phase in both channels on No.3, the "shift" was gone.

Yes, all amps are wired balanced Pin2 hot. And I will wire the new pair with reversed polarity. By chance the 2 pairs I used to use for some time were wired correctly. If I wanted to have repeatable results in absoloute phase, is this the tool used to measure the polarity:
