what do speakers sound like when the wires are reversed?

That is almost impossible to describe. The polarity would be reversed and thus off axis sound is produced. This is most commonly associated with subs ( 180 phase ) but I use my Morel Elate tweeters off axis to enhance the sound somewhat.

Most people find the sound out of sync or just "off" but some appreciate it. It is a personal preference I suppose.

I never did care for it until I really dug into it with the Elates. It is not something that I would recommend though. It just something people can experiment with as everyone hears differently...
