I suspect the mics' polar patterns weren't of the finest.

"Polar patterns"? They were probably omnis. (And, yes, I know that
omnis don't necessarily have the same on- and off-axis responses.)

Omnis? This is THE Mr. Blumlein we are talking about here, you know.

Forgive me. The brain must be in another country. As someone who made
many, many Blumlein recordings, I don't know how I could have made
such a mistake.

I think what I was thinking of was the shuffler.

My thought too OR a simple one channel polarity reversal, but I didn't
investigate and eventually I missed it online because of a my new, second
hand, surround receiver. I plain forgot about it. 6 hours vanished in
getting the thing set up just as stereo preamp, including enjoying that its
auto eq function got the loudspeaker bass and low midrange eq just right. I
wish they'd use better qualified staff to translate the manuals ...

Kind regards
