[QUOTE="dhmcfadin, post: 1506633, member: 27229"] I think the wrong terminology is being used here and that is what is invalidating your point. Hear me out. Phase and polarity are different. I think maybe what you are trying to say is that you are swapping polarity to bring a speaker INTO phase? That “phase switch “you are referring to doesn’t control phase. It controls polarity. Polarity flips from 0 to 180 degrees. There is no in-between. You sound stage will disappear if you have two speakers out of polarity which is what you are describing. The sound waves literally cancel each other out which is why your stage disappears (or appears). With phase, you are shifting the position of a waveform relative to another in time (degrees of cycles). To control phase, you need a dial where you can start at 0 and then adjust the amount of positive or negative phase shift that you want to apply 0, 90, 180, 270, 360 degrees. With polarity, you are positioning the waveform as either right side up, or upside down relative to its original state. I.e. we are flipping the +/- orientation without changing the waveform's position in time. The “phase switch” flips the polarity 180 degrees. It does not change the waveform’s position in time relative to anything else This article might help you better understand what you are trying to convey.
