Earl,
Thanks for your reply. I agree with you...intuitively it makes total sense: HD will lead to better imaging, and a cleaner sound.
Since you have the setup & the skills, i was speculating that it would be interesting to measure, in a double blind test, if (educated) listeners (a la Floyd Toole's methodology) actually do prefer HD, and by how much (keeping CD & the rest of the room & system constant of course).
Speculating further, we'll have to figure out how to develop 2 speaker systems, one with HD & one with LD, with CD constant. ALternately, one could use the same speaker system, but in one experimental tresatment emphasize room reflections so they are stronger and reach the listener sooner. Should be interesting & fun!
Not to mention a good potential AES paper!
