My switch is on the line stage remote (Aesthetix Calypso). Polarity changes came in loud and clear using that remote and I confess I never compared the audibility of changes via speaker switching after getting the Calypso.
Your description of listening via the correct polarity matches my recollections. I'm not sorry I have lost the ability to discern it, though :-)

You probably can still hear it in the right setup? Perhaps your new speakers are not as phase coherent as the Gallos? What speakers did you switch too?
You may remember those old Gallo Ultimates -- the giant ones with four "bassballs" per side, sitting in open racks -- that were standing in the corners for 10 years while I played with the latest and greatest Gallos. Big mistake. The Ultimates, among Anthony Gallo's first series speakers back in 1996, just blew away the newer ones when I got around to comparing them.
But the wiring between the 12-inch bassballs goes from plus to minus at one point, effectively obliterating phase/polarity distinctions. At least for me.
