Interesting.  As I recall, that was Briggs's conclusion, too.  But I
vaguely recall that he wrote that in one experiment, he erected an
acoustically transparent (as nearly as possible; he worked on that,
too) screen to hide some of the speakers in the room when he
conducted multiple-speaker comparison tests.  It seems that listeners
were reacting differently to the appearances of some of the specimens.
Unfortunately, I can't lay my hands on the reference at the moment.
Anyone have it?
