It has been done, by a set of journalist reporting to a Swedish audio
magizine. But this was in the late sixties...
I am as surprised as you are. This don't need to be any fully fledged
DBT to be trustworthy, it can just be a matter of designing a sound
transperante big box that is put over the speakers by someone, or a
separate room, designed for this purpose. Most evaluators will be in
for a surprise.
