Hi Howard, I had the same problem, sort of. I bought a used pair of Reference 3A speakers and they didn't sound right so I put on my Stereophile test CD and checked the phase track, and sure enough the speakers were wired out of phase internally, so I swapped the cables red to black and black to red on only one speaker and everything was fine. Try it. Randy
Out of phase?
New home. Old stereo. My rig is sounding like crap, so I threw in the second Stereophile test CD. On the phase test, "The Fender bass guitar you are about to hear ...", it's all backwards. There is a central image when there isn't supposed to be one and vice-versa. All the connections have been checked and rechecked and then checked again. Speakers -- and all else -- wired up correctly. Any thoughts about what could be causing this? It's a really asymetrical room, with an open stairway on one side and a lost up above on the other. Is that what this is likely all about? If so, what does one do about a particularly odd space? (Short of moving, that is. I just bought this place.) Thanks. -- Howard
