[QUOTE="drew gandy, post: 41517, member: 880"] Re: What is the audible effect of 180 polarity change between HF and mids? As I understand it, the human hearing apparatus sends significantly more information to the brain about the positive going half of a wave than the negative. And, if I understand it correctly, this is especially true of the first positive going element of a transient sound. Since sounds in nature start at zero, this might explain why the first few ups and downs seem to be so important? I'm not sure how this relates to our little world of trying to recreate sounds with loudspeakers yet. But, I think there might be a difference between phase and timing that is not fully on the radar yet as it relates to our measurement systems and particularly for what our loudspeakers are actually capable of.
