There is actually a solution to this that Harman has used. You record the speaker in the room with binaural recording. You then play that back using headphones and compare it to listening tests of the actual room. If the two agree to high degree (which they have in Harman testing), then you can distribute the file to others who listen using the same headphone.
Harman used this to show that people in Asia do NOT have different taste in speakers than western listeners. Instead of replicating the entire setup, they just created the files and had the people overseas listen with headphones.
Other researchers use the same method in psychoacoustics research.
Isn't there some software/hardware system that does this without going through the actual speakers? In any case (I thought) with headphones you don't get the effect of things changing as one's head moves.
