I think Stewart is on to something with acoustical transparency here. I
was just playing a piece by John Cage on the hi-fi and I swapped from
valves to a ss amp. Sounded exactly the same. I swapped in three
different DACs - again sounded the same. I tried nine cables - again,
sounded the same. I tried some floorstand speakers instead of 2 ways.
Sounded exactly the same. Turned on the subwoofer - sounded exactly the
same.

You can't hear the difference between speakers etc when listening to a
room or hall ambience?

You'd not make a pro. This is often used as a quick preliminary check on
the characteristics of a microphone before even rehearsals start.

You may mean it as a joke, but that's rather brought into question your
pronouncements on other matters - if this ever needed conformation.

One of my most used wild tracks consists of about 100 people sitting in a
court room doing near enough nothing - and certainly not talking...
