What is the audible effect of 180 polarity change between HF and mids?

[QUOTE="John Roberts, post: 41403, member: 126"] Re: What is the audible effect of 180 polarity change between HF and mids? Absolute polarity is audible for certain asymmetrical waveforms but subtle and generally less audible than a crossover transition with a huge suckout or bump in the summed response. So the absolute polarity if swapped is considered the lesser evil of the two. Absolute polarity is generally not considered a transient phenomenon but more audible on certain complex waveforms (like brass and vocals). If the dominant components of that complex waveform all fall in the same bandpass, absolute polarity of another bandpass is not significant, so perhaps absolute polarity of the midband (vocal range) bandpass matters even if other bandpasses are flipped.
