What things do you hear that can't be measured?
Edits: 02/13/23
I can describe a couple examples with loudspeakers, things like Heyser was after and what I have been working on for large scale sound..
You have two different speakers, they each have a very similar spectrum / frequency response and when you walk into the room with them playing one at a time, they sound similar. With your eyes closed playing one at a time standing in front of them, it is easy to point at each BUT with one type it was easy to guess/localize how far away it was, while the other was easy to point at but how far away it sounded depended on the recording.
In stereo, one pair virtually disappears within the phantom image, you may not even be aware of the speakers while the other pair presents a stereo image AND the right and left speakers stand out as part of the image.
Same situation, two pairs of speakers with very similar response but in stereo one pair present the mono phantom voice as a person standing in front of you, the other presents a wall of that persons image and everything else.
If you know what does these things, one can minimize them , to find the causes takes modifications, measurements and listening in a repeat as needed loop..
I come from future. I have some good news and bad news, mostly bad news for you. We found out quite some time ago having unused audio equipment in the sane room screws up the sound. That goes for speakers, cables, electronics, everything. Take it all out of the room immediately!
