RE: More about Absolute Polarity

Drivers should be run the way they were designed. In case of my Tannoys they were designed to move backwards when faced with a positive going waveform, just like JBLpros. They sound better that way. The Volt drivers in my woofers were designed for either and do not sound in any way different if I flip the polarity.

First off they are not designed to move backwards
The terminals are simply labled red on positive and blk on negative
The OLD JBL line speakers were labled out of phase
The new JBl stuff has been labled properly for positive and negative
for sometime now

Many people had no clue of the reverse phase on the old JBL stuff
and ran systems with out of phase JBL speakers mixed with other
pro loudspeaker gear
Which basically sucked

At least JBL has it right on the phase issue now
