I've always felt that UNDISTORTED frequencies or notes reproduced under identical anechoic acoustic conditions would have to sound the same no matter what type of speaker reproduced them. Therefore, I think if you have somehow eliminated all other variables as you have stated, a difference in the sound quality would have to come down to a difference in distortion characteristics. In other words, one of the speakers has to be producing the frequency or note with less distortion or a different type of distortion.BTW, how have you managed to eliminate the room, the way the speaker launches sound into the room (direct, bipole, dipole etc.)and the resultant interaction, as a possible source of the diffence you are hearing. You aren't listening in an anechoic chamber, are you? If not, and if you have found a way to eliminate these interactions as a source of difference in the sound of speakers, you should run, not walk to a patent office!
