  Why do I have to? Almost all the tests I mentioned have been
  published in various magazines. Why do I have to go to all the
  expense and inconvenience _again_?

  Very generous of you.

  So, if you have the money organize some tests yourself. Get yourself
  some listeners, design a test where the only variable under test is
  what you think it is -- as I have written, that is _not_ trivial --
  and report on the result. Me, I have _done_ all that work. Why do I
  have to do it again? Surely not just to satisfy your idle curiosity?

  . . . it's been found to be audible in blind tests, repeatedly. Not every audio system reveals it on music, particularly those whose speakers have drivers wired out-of-phase (as some crossover topologies require) and/or steep crossover slopes. IMS it's plainly audible.
