I once read a review of a Vienna Acoustics speaker in which the reviewer discussed the merits of the crossover that inverted phase for the tweeter only. The reviewer as I recall preferred the speaker with the tweeter restored to "in phase" by reversing the (by wire) speaker leads to the tweeter. Dont know about the Spendors, but I guess its not unheard of.
Does the Spendor S8e invert phase?
Hi, I have been listening to a pair of Spendor S8e's and noticed that the transients didn't sound as crisp as my Vandersteen 1B's (which aren't exactly the most detailed speaker).
However, on a whim, I swapped + and - on the speaker cables and it seems to have improved the sound. Has anyone else had this experience with this speaker?
I had also heard that people with tube amps like the Spendors better than those with solid-state amps. Since many tube amps and/or pre-amps are phase-inverting, I wonder if it has something to do with this. Thanks.
