Smoother bass by running woofer out of phase?

In my dedicated room that is furnish with bass traps, I still get to much bass energy on bass heavy music. I discover recently that in bi wiring my speakers (ML Vantage)I wire the woofers out of phase;the bass bloat goes away and I have greater detail from top to bottom. What is the explanation of this and is this a recommended "fix" in dealing with excessive bass? Thanks, Sam

Interesting that you find that it sounds better with the woofers out of phase, in as that back in the early '90s, when Stereophile reviewed the Martin Logan Sequel IIs, that they too found that if they wired the woofer out of phase, that it too sounded better.

Thought you might find that interesting.
