I have also heard both. Yanni on the very small speakers of my MacBook and Laurel on my car radio. Yanni was higher and thinner sounding so it may be more the acoustical presentation than the differences in how we hear things which is what is creating the fervor over this.
Yanni or Laurel?
Is this why some reviewers/audiophiles hear differences others can't?

I only hear Laurel and my wife only hears Yanni.
