The only test that matters.

Quite audibly on speakers (unless there is something badly wrong with
your speakers).

Experiments to compare an experimental phase-accurate Blumlein set-up
with a crossed 'coincident'(as near as possible) pair of large diaphragm
mics have confirmed this. The Blumlein system had audibly less HF
splurge on a solo female voice.
