This is a good example of what I was trying to explain to Gary. There

position of the listener.


I've yet to hear any pair of stereo speakers where the position of the
listener isn't sensitive. Of course, some are more so than others.

Perhaps our usage of "sensitive" varies a bit. In my usage, it implies
that only a small area of the room would present a valid stereo image to
the listener. It isn't difficult to do much better than that.
