RE: Just for the record...

Using headphones could be open to the same criticism of second harmonic distortion.

One test that would be immune to this kind of criticism would be if a bipolar speaker were used and it were constructed with complete symmetry and located symmetrically in the listening room. (I don't know if any commercial bipolar speakers meet this test, as the ones that I am familiar with have a clear "front" and "back".) With such a speaker one could reverse polarity by a 180 degree rotation of the speaker.
