Quick speaker question

for all you hifi boffins.
I've just noticed that my flootstanders (Modaunt Short
Declaration 908s) are wired wrong. They are bi-wired and the
polarity is ok but the low-fi was connected to the hi-fi and
inversely. I noticed this just a while ago when listenning
to Pink Floyd's The Wall Live (which fortunately is the
first time I've listened to anything on this set over the
last few months since I moved it into this room - I assume
that before it was set up properly). My question is could
this have done any damage? I've corrected the wirring and it
sounds fine now but I get unreasonably paranoid about audio
equipment fuckups!!!

i'm no expert at this, well actually i have no knowledge of
bi-wired speakers at all, but i think no harm has been done.
if it plays fine, then i would think there is no need to
worry. but don't do this again! :D

nothing to worry about... speakers can take just about
anything as long as you don't overload them... like, you're
supposed to put the wires in the wrong way to make sure
you've put them in the right way (well.. that sounds
crazy... it's just that if you have one speaker wired the
one way and the other the other way, point them towards
eachother and listen, you'll notice that the one of the
speakers souds like it's sucking the sound from the other
one in.. that one is wired wrong... so, since that is a
common way of determining if you're speakers are wired
wrong, they should be able to take wrong bi-wiring too...).
