I tried flipping my midrange polarity last night. The effect is easily audible. Not terrible sounding but noticeably recessed in the range of the crossover, which in my case is around 2000 Hz. I didn't listen long enough to see if I could detect what might be audible at the 200 Hz lower crossover. I had already heard enough to determine you shouldn't do this unless you are going for a particular flavor of sound other than neutral.
Stereophile - Sabrina 5
Hate to rag on Sterophile again, but one of two things are true. One, the Sabrina speakers they reviewed were wired incorrectly or Wilson is now shipping with inverted midranges.
All that work to reduce distortion to vanishing levels only to totally ahem, add custom flavor to the frequency response.
Honestly if I was reviewing this speaker I'd have stopped to reach out to them before publishing, just to be sure this speaker shipped as intended.
