Default loudspeaker stereo imaging

Put *any* set of speakers in your room, and play a (say) 8-10kHz sine

Then walk around the room and be enlightened.


I stuck a finger in my ear and was enlightened.

Just fired up the sound test CD and tried this (1, 5 and 10KHz). Also did it
with one ear covered, both walking around and rotating my head while
standing still. Node-tastic or wot? Some of the peaks and troughs are so
close together, that there must be frequencies that will have a peak at one
ear and a trough at the other. I dare say that, for a given position, there
would peaks at one frequency and troughs at another.

Makes me wonder if all that stereo imaging stuff is worth the bother (not
that I bother, especially).
