is simple: Nothing in acoustical instrumentation in real life ever is reversed in polarity ! QED, simple fact. Oh you can argue the movement of the diaphragms and such but the truth is the sound from a real acoustical instrument is ALWAYS correct.
If you have a driver inverted in polarity, that does not render reality any better and in fact makes it worse.
Why screw up the playback of what is supposed to be reality any further? You are trying to justify your position but you ignore the basic truth of it all; Again, NOTHING IN REAL LIFE USING ACOUSTICAL INSTRUMENTATION IS EVER INVERTED IN ABSOLUTE POLARITY. They may have unique sound properties ( like say a Tabla), but nothing justifies screwing up the final transducers. Well, at least not in my opinion.
