I never tried turning my speakers around backwards. It would seem intuitively that this would be
a bad idea, since then you are negating the positive effect of the curvature of the panel on
dispersion of the sound. At the very least, in the reverse position your "sweet spot" must be
much smaller. Also, listening to an inverse curve must play havoc with acoustical phase, but for
that very reason, if you have an odd-shaped room this might by chance not be so bad. With
Maggies it's an entirely different story. Maggies have their equivalent of a "stator" only on one
side of the diaphragm and (I think) the magnet structure is also only on one side, so they might
sound entirely different if you listen to the rear radiation.
