Speaker Swap Question

I did the front/rear speaker channel swap today.

The basic radio in my 2013 Clubman S sounds 100% better. Is it just me, or does the swap really make such a huge difference?

I thinking of not doing the speakers at all now.

It is your imagination in my opinion. I did the same, then read an article here on how your ears hear sound and the reasons to not do the swap. I swaped back and then that way sounded better.

The biggest difference you can make in the way that car sounds on the cheap is to just spend $200 on 6 half decent brand name speakers.

I've done every possibility almost in 5 years. The swap. The unswap.
New speakers. New HU, amp and sub.
XM hard wired. XM on FM transmit. etc etc etc..
