Measurements show that if you listen on-axis sibillance would make sense, depending of course on manufacturer tolerances and individual sensitivity.

I would say about half or more of my collection can't be found on streaming services. Combination of vinyl and CDs and digital releases. Fair amount of unreleased music, too. The available proportion has been increasing over the last 15 years, although I don't expect to ever fully rely on these...
There is some incorrect thinking here.
Proximity effect is specific to directional microphones like cardioids. It is also a property of the recording, not the playback stage.
Headphones should reproduce recorded information neutrally (to your ear). All they really do, as devices, is reproduce...
The correction is most effective for the point in space where the measurement happens. As you get farther away, and as the frequency in question increases, the correction will lose effectiveness. It works the same way with normal EQ. At LF modal behavior will determine how consistent the...
We know ART works from the measurements posted. Exactly how is proprietary and wider adoption will let us investigate. It's an old idea (impulse correction), but this is the first successful commercial implementation.
"Not audible" means not audible relative to direct sound. We know from...
Just a few comments because I was not there.
This is very unlikely to be an adequate target because DF is an unnatural and largely impossible acoustic condition. Olive made roughly the same comments in his papers about why the Harman headphone target became necessary.
Somewhat more probable...
Is there any specific published research on your comments and recommendations?
Why would being closer to the loudspeakers help given the wavelengths at play? What wavelengths are even of interest in AE?
You've also frequently said that humans can localize down DC. Not just perceive (the...
I don't, but when other people ask if I'm an audiophile, I accept the title. It describes what I like.
No reason to get into all the currents of thought unless people ask.
