That would be an interesting experiment ! Though I think the fact that the
subsequent  decorrelating the sound of the cello in the different speakers
gave the composer the spatial effects he was looking for (it still sounded
like a cello) shows it was property of the way the different frequncy bands
were dispersed rather than a cognitive effect such as familiarity that was
the main factor .
