The Adire review Colin mentions was done by D'Appolitto; who did extensive high level testing of the speaker using MLSSA and other high resolution tests; and after all that and a thorough listening test; the guy still could not tell that the tweeter on one of the speakers was wired out of phase. They just kept mentioning a odd sort of disconnect with the sound. So much for the opinion of experts.
When he was brought to task for his inability to recognise a simple mis-wire after thirty years of speaker work he claimed that he has to review them the way they are presented to him. He can't go in and check xovers to see if they are wired correctly. A cop-out if you ask me. All he had to do was ask the company if the review sample was faulty.
Never trust anything but your ears.
