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...).
