Default Testing that speakers in phase?

"Terry Pinnell" wrote in message
...
Could someone remind me of the simple test involving placing 'left'
and 'right' speakers close together facing each other please? Am I
right in recalling that they are in correct 'phase' when the volume
sounds reduced/muffled? Or is it the reverse?

(I have some cable extensions to do on the speakers that came with my
new PC, and both wires are identical, so I want to be sure I get it
right.)



Use the balance control to go from one extreme to the other. If the bass is
strong when one speaker is playing, but appears to drop away when centre
balanced, one of them is the wrong way around.
