Spatial distortion is a serious problem deteriorating headphone listening.
Crossfeeders reduce spatial distortion and make the sound more natural
and less tiresome in headphone listening.

Call me an iconoclast, but my favorite names for classical works are styled along the lines of String Quartet, No. 11 ...

:D

Nah, we'll just call you a boring old fart  :D ;)

Langgaard's Symphony no. 14 has some wacky movement titles to say the least:

I. Introductory Fanfare
II. Unnoticed Morning Stars
III. The Marble Church Rings
IV. The Tired Get Up for Life
V. Radio-Caruso and Forced Energy
VI. Dads' Rush to the Office
VII. Sun and Beech Forest
