Again this may work for some frequencies but not all.

Now that I have a PXA-H800 (replacing an MS-8) I can change phase and T/A on the fly, and my results supports your post: changing phase will give an apparent bump in SPL but with a detriment in SQ. The sub impact is simply gone, midbass is up and some audio artifacts -for lack of a better word- are heard all over the place. Like something is...
out of phase.
T/A is much more effective, although too much of it will make the sound to be like in a tunnel.
