Hi,
I have a stereo receiver connected to PSW111 sub (speaker line level) that goes to 2 RTiA1.
I rewired them because of a new TV stand. I have accidentally reversed the the +/- speaker leads on tight channel and operated it for about 30 minutes in that situation, until I rechecked my setup.
Im concerned that I might have cause damaged to my sub, speakers or receiver???
TIA for your reply.

    It just changes the way the speaker reacts to the incoming signal. With reverse polarity, the cones of the speakers will move inward, when they should be moving outward (with proper polarity). As F1 said you don't need to worry.
