Riddle me this....


It was recently suggested to me that by reversing the polarity of two stereo

speakers it will readjust  the depth of field in your soundstage.

 

In case that is unclear- If a voice was perceived as being one foot behind the

speakers and you swapped the positive to negative on the terminals of both

speakers it would make that voice move to being perceived as 

one foot in front of the plane of two stereo speakers.

 

Has anyone heard of this experiment and what can you

share about it?

....in short:

Reversing your phase may pervert your stage...something like that...;)

There was onceuponatime a means of crosswiring the L & R channels that didn't seem to indicate 180ing one or the other, but was purported to 'nifty things' to the stage....and wouldn't cook ones' amp...

If anyone has a better SSD between ears in regard to this, chime in...
