   True, & true.    
      
   HOWEVER: a couple of times I have made myself look godlike (and that is a vast   
   stretch even to the best of imaginations) to a certain class of audiophile by   
   the simple expedient of connecting their speakers correctly (in phase). On one   
   very special    
   occasion, I had to practically tie one gentleman down as he INSISTED that the   
   right speaker should be connected one way, the left the other way. Until he   
   heard them connected properly.    
      
   So, relative phase angles may be inaudible. But 180 degrees out of phase is   
   most definitely audible.
