Since getting my Denon 3808CI for home theater use, I've been playing around with Audyssey MultEQ XT. Every time I've run the measurements, Audyssey gives a warning that the left Summit is "out of phase" which I've just ignored, per Audyssey's recommendations (since they say dipole speakers may yield a false positive phase warning). I finally had time today to swap the right and left Summits, and am now consistently getting the phase warning for that same speaker (now on the right). Apparently there *IS* something wrong with that one Summit, and it's not due to the dipole/room interaction. In the past I had to pull out the bottom woofer of that speaker to fix a loose connection, so I checked today to make sure the red and black wires were properly reconnected, and they are.
Now what? Should I risk disassembling the entire speaker to check all the other connections, or just keep ignoring the error (not sure if it makes an audible difference or not). Of note, my Summits were bought used, so it's possible the previous owner may have disassembled them for some reason, and switched the wires for the front woofer and/or stat panel.
