Right.
What I was getting at is that if the speakers by design have the tweeters connected with reverse polarity (phase???) relative to the mids or the bass, then that sinewave will be at different polarity at the different drivers making it impossible to hear.
Now lets say I have a single full range driver, are you saying that I cant hear reverse polarity?

You may be hearing an effect of the filter. But if you were to do a double blind test, there would be no beneficial obvious difference.
but not true with actual music which contains many overtones. The relationship of the fundamental tone to the overtones will be changed, and one obvious aspect easily heard is excessive sibilance.

Uhhhh. Sine waves are harder for gear to reproduce than music. Harder for digital and analog. Do you know what a sine wave consists of?
Music with its complex overtones and harmonics are much harder to reproduce accurately. IM starts to rear its ugly head along with TIM distortion in the case of amps with slow transient response. Typically you do not get those issues with a pure sine wave, particularly in the 1KHz range.
But perhaps I am not understanding the scope of your question. Perhaps you ought to elaborate a bit more.
