Means the two waveforms won't be 'mirro images' so won't null.


An important point.


Again, what odds to anyone prepared only to pay as little as
possible for 'budget' speakers?

None. Just that the user won't be hearing clear stereo imaging.


That's a presumption I presume?


No, not really. The quality of the null you get when you wire the
speakers out of phase is a good indicator of the quality (locatability,
if you like) of the stereo image they can produce.

FWIW in my experience if you can't get a close approach to a null (no
sound) then having the result sounding quiet and 'out of phase' gives best
results. (Effect varies from 'in the head' to 'behind you'. Hard to
describe, but you will know it once you have experienced it. :-) )

Slainte,
