Peoples intent is irrelevant for blind testing. What is conciously percieved is just a small part of what is being processed by our brains. Even if 86dB sounds like a highish volume I suspect the music didn't pump out that level continously? Arms raised might be in the level where it may well influence the sound. Especially when the sound is a phantom image created by two distinct sound sources. (Not comparable to the sound coming from an actual musical instrument.) -- P Floding No, I didn't ABX it. And I won't even if you ask me.
