I’m posting right after reading up to the big reveal. can someone explain how the speakers we listen thru will effect the result? If I listen thru B&W wouldn’t that treble rise double making my favorite speaker unlistenable? Curious to what I’ll learn here and now knowing which speakers are used would there be a way to get more accurate results
You are correct. Let’s say a BBC dip is the preferred response curve in a loudspeaker. The binaural recording captures that BBC dip. But then it gets played back on another speaker with a BBC dip. Now you have double BBC dips, which definitely will sound colored, and the listener reaches the erroneous conclusion that the original BBC dip speaker is colored, when in reality, the perceived coloration was due to the particular choice of playback speaker.
I identified this major problem (one of many) in my comments about the first experiment , but it clearly did not get addressed for this second and unfortunately similar “experiment.” You may be one of the few people who picked up on this methodological flaws and I’m glad I’m not the only one asking questions and not buying into the group think.
