Yanni or Laurel?

say what?

I've been thinking more about this, and I think it happens all the time with our other senses. What about smell, or taste? There are lots of people who think peas are good, but I think they taste like crap. Now I see it. Peas don't taste like crap to those who like them, as I don't think many people would like crap. What about colors? Tons of evidence on people seeing different colors. So now we have something different with sound. It's not that surprising after all.

I think that there is a system reproduction difference.  I listened to it a half dozen through the stock speakers on my flat screen TV, and it is VERY clearly Yanni.  However, if I play the exact same clip through my home theater speakers, it is very clearly Laurel.  I've tested the room response of my home theater and know it to be very flat.  To me it looks like the clip sounds like Yanni on systems that do not evenly cover the full range of audible frequency...

It's not that simple. I've had several people listen to the same file at the same time through the same system; some hear "Yanni," some "Laurel."

Of course, that's not to say that it might not sound different, depending on the system.

All I hear is "Laurel."

@cleeds   I hear both at the same time. Tested this with clips from different sites.
