Hi Matt!
-> Well... SOME people can tell the difference, especially with vocal
-> parts (spoken, in particular), whether the speakers (or even *a*
-> speaker) are in "proper" positive phase.  I've noticed a slight
-> difference on some material, in the right circumstances (a
-> well-treated control room with proper monitoring).
I'm not sure that could be determined in a double blind test, Matt. but
every attempt should be made to have the speaker making a forward
excursion when applied with a positive signal.
-> Of course, you can't always trust the color of the wiring.  JBL
-> speakers are well known for being color-coded "backward".
 Very true, as a long time user of JBL equipment can tell you.
