What a very interesting video ,it’s got me thinking. In the 70s or 80s when I first got into real hifi on school of thought was to listen to one speaker in the room at a time. Maybe this proves it.
Yes! It’s so nice to watch videos like this one. I am a HUG member and I think TH-cam and tech talks is a very smart move to share knowledge and make visible the Harbeth brand to new customers
It's true. I was very impressed by Sennheisser's IE80 earphone when I first upgraded from a cheaper model. And I though the sound was very dynamic and balanced compared with my previous earphones. Later I learned from online reviews that it's kind of boomy, and there is standard eq to balance it. But after I applied the standard eq, and switch it to the eqqed effect - god my first impression was that it became so harsh and too bright, even hard to bear when listening to my favorite songs: the hissing of the highs was too much for me!. After listening to the eqqed sound for a while, I felt better. But today I'm still not sure if I prefer the eqqed sound or the original sound - seems our ears tend to adapt to the new sound characteristics after a while, unless we do the AB test quickly. Even when I do apply an eq, I would choose to downgrade the intensity, a handy function provide by Wavelet app.
My wonder is: has research sussed out a more reliable way to A/B test in these non-ideal conditions? e.g. Take a 5 minute break between each speaker, or listen to each speaker for a minimum of 10 minutes?
Interesting. This appears to demonstrate a general overcompensating-to-balance principle at work in human perception; another example is to stare at a color dot for a while then look at a plain surface to see its opposite.
As usual Alan, brilliant. As a Harbeth owner, I look forward to future videos like this.
TH-cam is wrong that it does not promote channels and videos like yours that are great and direct us to the worthless sites of the pseudo experts.

Очень очень интересное видео.
I believe it! May I suggest if a cost-no-object speaker C was used, the A and B speakers could be compared separately to this reference?
Fascinating stuff. Thank you so much. It's always amazing how the human brain works.
Good morning. Can you tell me the Helbrth 40.3 speaker with which amps it works great..?

This was a great video but it only has 2024 views. the people who need to see this are all of the so called TH-cam reviewers.
