Certainly! It’s always the product of a certain sonic signature. How do you think sound bars replicate all kinds of spacial effects? They just synthesize the signature of various spacial effects. You people act like the only measurements that exist are frequency response and distortion. I’m not at all surprised such unsophisticated thinking provokes such unsophisticated questions and presumptions. The evidence already exists in the marketplace and production studios.
What's more, hearing something is hardly an explanation of the origin of a phenomenon. It's just as likely cable burn in is pure imagination.
