"I've read that polarity sensitivity is an indication of a problem in your speakers (ears too?) "
I think you've got this backwards. Polarity insensitivity is an indication of a problem in a loudspeaker. The problem will show up in an step response plot.
Human hearing is sensitive to polarity of asymmetric waveforms. There is undisputed scientific evidence of this. But note: recordings are not consistent as to the polarity they support and in some cases individual instruments on a track will be in opposite polarity. (One can see this with cover photos where two singers are on opposite side of a ribbon microphone with a figure 8 pattern.)
