Thanks for listening!
Yes, it is good recording, and uses Q-sound. I tried not to spoil it..
The soundfile link is after it has been convolved with binaural IRs from
my dummy head and room.
The IRs have gone through my speakers, room, dummy head, inverse
filtering and final eq. Frequencies 100Hz to DC are crossed over to a
synthetic IR, to replace the mono and room modes from the sub.
Hopefully there will be very little colouration as it has been finally
equalised to be flat for independent white noise.
I hear the vocals outside the head and to the front (unlike the original
stereo) regardless of any normal head movement, and even when lying down
the image remains horizontal. The side images are quite good on the
original.
After 100s of hours listening to similar dummy heads it will sound
better to me than anyone listening for the first time. However they are
not personalised HRIRs (except by tweaking). unless my near-ear IRs are
close to**a dirac delta function, for a speaker at 45 degrees.
The head itself has more than two microphones (and ears).

Isn't Roger Waters' Amused to Death Q-Sound?
Q-Sound was designed to work with both speakers and headphones.
It is not binaural as such. With speakers the stereo stage is very
wide.
However, the album has some very effecive spatial moments.
