OK, I'll take the bait one last time and try to have a reasonable
discussion with you.  

If the motion of the speaker cones tracks the waveforms I generated,
the audible difference must be due to some effect in the sound wave
itself (and its interaction with your ear).   This was my possibility
3.  Tom pointed out in that post that if you are behind the speaker,
the cone motion is indeed polarity reversed in precisely the sense we
are talking about.  

Unfortunately for ordinary speakers it's also true that there are other
effects (including a changed frequency response) which matter quite a
bit.  Nonetheless, it may still be possible to hear if the changes
between the two polarities have the same character they do from the
front, or if they are swapped.
