Try it, you guys!!! You've got nothing to loose.
Hey Joe,

Thanks for explaining things. I agree with you in that it is free and easy to do and worth the effort!

But I think things are different these days. My mmgs for one came with the MYLAR on the front and I think all the current single ended ones do too...so you are really saying to leave them alone??

FWIW I have listened both ways and it is a long long story and probably one that doesnt relate since I ditched a "normal" set up like 10 years ago. FOr the longest time though I had listened to the pole pieces and enjoyed that (and thought that was what you originally were saying). Originally that is how mags were designed not with the mylar in the front. HT changed them IMHO. Any how I use the ROOZE setup now and suppose I am listening to the mylar now.

Do note that if you do turn the speaker around, you should swap your cables +, and - connections on BOTH speakers to adjust for the difference in polarity when listening to the back wave vs. the front wave. Or engage a polarity switch if your pre or cdp has one.
