If a tool for blind test auditioning places the Harman speaker in its optimal location
Where did you get that from???
The speaker shuffler puts all speakers quickly in the same position, namely the position where the mechanism of
the shuffler is located. That is a feature of the building. The reason for this is because it was found that any difference
in relative position between speaker and listener skews the listening result and compromises the test data.
The shuffler does not position Harman speakers any better than their competitors. You can only blame the shuffler that
it is valid only for a specific type of speaker, in this case apparently direct radiators that do not rely on boundary gain.
You could blame them for including an aberrant design like a ML, but don't forget that comparative advertisement and slamming
competitors is part of the US culture.
