I quote someone at rochester:
"
Much closer effect to a phase shift between different frequencies
(180 degrees was reported for some CD players) can be obtained
by reversing the polarity of one speaker in the stereo pair. This
is an exagerration, but the basic effect is the same - the
sound appears "smeared" and originating everywhere, as the
directionality is lost.
"
A phase shift between DIFFERENT FREQUENCIES is utterly, TOTALLY, and
irrevocably UNRELATED to a phase shift BETWEEN CHANNELS.
The perceptual effects of the two distortions are likewise utterly
dissimilar.
Good GRIEF!
Good night!
