Re: I have raised this question too

I guess what would be needed is a way to map the extremes, from completely non-reactive (ie. a resistor like load) to extremely reactive (simulating an electrostatic speaker?) and obtaining the necessary data under these conditions and then doing comparative listening as well to attempt to establish the correlation.

In practical terms, if you wanted to do such things with real speakers in order to understand the room vibration aspect you could hook up a pair of Apogees (I don't know of a more purely resistive speaker) on one end and Soundlabs (probably about the most reactive) on the other end. Then, not only do you get the opposite loads you also get extremely high resolution to hear subtle effects.

The subjective listening tests can be conducted at the same time as the measurements are being made most likely.
