ABSTRACT
Psychoacousticians dream of being able to insert measured numbers into an equation representing a model of a perceptual function and accurately predicting a subjective response. It has not been straightforward for those perceptual dimensions that appeared to be simple, much less for more complex ones like loudness, incorporating all of the possible interactions with different sounds. Something as multidimensional and abstract as preference in the sound quality from loudspeakers presents a new level of challenge.
