I understand the word polarity and I understand the word phase after 40 
years in the audio industry I've never known a loudspeaker (or other 
transducer) to be out of polarity.

 From Wikipedia: *"Phase difference* is the difference, expressed in 
degrees or time, between two waves having the same frequency and 
referenced to the same point in 
time.^<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phase_%28waves%29#cite_note-Ballou2005-1> 
Two oscillators that have the same frequency and no phase difference are 
said to be *in phase*. Two oscillators that have the same frequency and 
different phases have a phase difference, and the oscillators are said 
to be *out of phase* with each other."
