Typical high end baloney will be the result

The belief that one can walk into an unfamiliar room, listen to an unfamiliar stereo system, and then make any valid statement whatsoever about what the amplifier used in that unfamiliar stereo system sounds like ... is COMPLETE HIGH-END AUDIO BALONEY.

And thats even if the room had good acoustics.

John Dunlavy used to annoy his prototype speaker listening panel by using ordinary 12AWG zip cord as speaker wire. So he did "experiments" with the panel telling him his employee had changed the wires. The panel "heard" the changes. Dunlavy revealed online in the late 1990's that his employee NEVER changed any speaker cables -- his listeners just imagined these changes! Soon after, Dunlavy began selling Dunlavy speaker cables -- something like $1000/pair. He never made false claims about them, but obviously knew a good profit margin when he saw one!
