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?

It's not a good idea for any reason.
