Quote Exalted Wombat:


And then, having agonised over speaker position, move your head just a few inches in any direction. For a more dramatic demonstration, agonise over headphone choice then, with ANY set, push the cups just a tiny bit tighter to your ears. I can almost guarantee you'll hear a difference as great as that from all the "fine tuning" - with headphones it will be an order of magnitude greater.




That's so true! Similarly, cup your hands behind your ear & listen to any mix for a minute. When you take your hands away it will instantly sound crap. Apparently the original design brief for ears favoured listening for predators, above listening to speakers.
