dale	Re: marshall jubilee-out of phase ? trace, i just did a test. i rigged up an adapter so i could quickly A/B the stereo setup with and without one of the speakers out of phase. but it sounded fuller with both speakers in phase ! could it be that only certain jubilees are like that? or maybe some were shipped with speakers that were either hooked up out of phase or with incorrectly labeled terminals? i know that sounds impossible, but i can't understand why yours sounds out of phase but mine doesn't. the thing i mentiond before is probably just the way the amp sounds compared to my old 900. it's not a bad thing, just different. but i would expect a out of phase sound to definatly be worse. so apparently either mine is in phase, or theres something in the amp that makes it out of phase in a way that can't be resolved with a speaker reversal. what are your thoughts? dale

trace,

i just did a test. i rigged up an adapter so i could quickly A/B the stereo setup with and without one of the speakers out of phase. but it sounded fuller with both speakers in phase ! could it be that only certain jubilees are like that? or maybe some were shipped with speakers that were either hooked up out of phase or with incorrectly labeled terminals? i know that sounds impossible, but i can't understand why yours sounds out of phase but mine doesn't. the thing i mentiond before is probably just the way the amp sounds compared to my old 900. it's not a bad thing, just different. but i would expect a out of phase sound to definatly be worse. so apparently either mine is in phase, or theres something in the amp that makes it out of phase in a way that can't be resolved with a speaker reversal. what are your thoughts?
