High Efficiency Speaker Asylum

Need speakers that can rock with just one watt? You found da place.

I hope to soon be ordering a pair of Avantgarde Duo speakers. The latest SUB 225 subwoofers do not include a phase switch. I contacted Herr Fromme at AG and he wrote:-
'The phase switch in the older models has been replaced by switchable subsonic filter. The 3-position subsonic-switch allows you to limit the bass response to 20 Hz, 25 Hz or 30 Hz. The system is normally operated in the 20 Hz position. Although the phase switch is no longer available, you will have the same functionality, by simply reverting (sic) the phase on the input terminals of the subwoofer module'.
I was under the impression that swapping across the input terminals would reverse polarity, and that phase and polarity are not the same thing. Have I got that wrong?
From your experience with using AG speakers, do you consider the omission of a phase switch on the subs to be a possible limitation? I know that altering the phase setting on the REL sub in my current set up makes a significant difference to bass integration.
Thanks for your help.
