Agree, much easier to detect with full range electrostatic speakers ...

Acoustic Polarity - Hmmm. First time that I am hearing this term in 30 years of reading Audio writings.

Instead of hearing a forward movement of the speaker diaphragm, you are hearing the backward movement. So it is a phase issue. Both produces similar sound, but one is more direct and correct.

In amplifiers, some designs are phase inverted and they call it as such.

Anyway, I can hear it easily.

Another popular LP Janis Ian - Breaking silence is also phase inverted. Hear it in the correct phase and it would sound twice as good.
