Follow Ups:
You must always change BOTH channels to reverse Absolute Polarity, otherwise you are changing the channel phase relationship and your stereo image will be inside-out.Just to be clear, the correct absolute polarity is when a positive-going wavefront on the recording is reproduced as a positive-going wavefront from the speaker to the listener. Sometimes (but may be difficult to see) this is visible on the woofers with a bass drum "whack" in a classical recording or the kick drum in a non-classical recording. The leading edge of the "whack" should make the speaker move forward, NOT pull inward.

Hi Michael, Thanks for your response. I listened all day yesterday, for the first time in some while, as the Ballet Orch has been going mega-fulltime!
I have Macintosh electronics, Sony CD and SACD players, and have never tried switching the speaker connections before, but listening with them switched was really great, for me in terms of bloom, depth, blend and richness of sound ( which I thought it had before!).
I'm looking forward to Monday when I can listen to the Cinncinatti recording of Bartok and Lutaslavsky(sp?).
Have been listening to Bill Evans "Portrait.." on SACD, and Kieth Jarret "Tokyo 96" on cd.
The sound is way richer, more blended, the image moves more into the room, giving greater depth, palpability(?).
Basically, it sounds Better. I'm going to leave it untill some thing sounds bad or werid! ( I switched both speakers).
