Speaker imaging


Considering my speakers definitely image better when I am not wearing my glasses leads me to conclude imaging ain't really real but relies on the power of suggestion. Sort of like some folks who prefer to listen with the lights off. Any comments?

Eyeglasses lenses reflect and diffract higher frequency sounds into your ears, a form of noise that overrides much information, including some soundstage-width information.

Listen to a recording with horns and one with tambourines with and without glasses. Also, the esses and Tees of the female voice are affected by glasses.
