Hi,

I feel very smart to ask this, but how do you tell if your
speakers are hooked up correctly?

I built shelves to liberate my B&W 201s from the bookshelf. I
also bought proper 14 gauge wire to replace the 18. One speaker uses
about 30', the other 12 or 13. Near as I can tell, the wire's
symmetrical, no writing on one side, both strands mixed copper and
brass. I already buried much of the longer wire, and I have trouble
separating strands on even a much shorter length.

I turned the balance to one side, played that speaker, then
switched polarity as it played.

Sorry .... but both ways sounded fine.

They're playing now and they sound excellent, liberated from
the contraints of squeezing into a bookshelf. Maybe I oughtn't to
worry, but odds are that at least one is hooked up with incorrect
polarity. What are the consequences of that, and what should I listen
for?

TIA
