RE: Tube preamp sweet spot/amp compatibility?

the phase reversal was a success. On Madonna's "Vogue" track (I know, I know...don't start flaming), instrument and vocal placement was more precise, better separation, leading edges to notes more distinct. A major improvement.
Chris Isaak's Blue Spanish Sky, his vocal inflection was more realistic instead of the flatness that I had before the phase switch.
Despite my moniker, I wasn't listening that loud during testing, nor do I listen at extreme volumes that often. My MM de Capo speakers have a 8" woofer, just a capacitor rolling of frequencies to the tweeter, and I run two sets of identical wire to them (bi-wired). Bass is very deep, you'd think I have a subwoofer, even in my 13x16 room that is fully open to one side and partially open to the other. Don't even start me going on bi-wiring! My speakers benefitted from bi-wiring dramatically, despite all of what I have read that say it makes no difference. When I get the time I'll post my experience with that. Thanks for everything! -Jeff
