For about the past 5 years I've been collecting and listening to Hemi-Sync recorded CDs that are designed to help for a multitude of things...sleep being one of them, though there are recordings to help with creativity, depression,, etc. The recordings were supposedly done using a binaural recording technique along with also embedding sounds which are designed to stimulate areas of the brain during periods of being awake and sleep. It's suggested that headphones be used to get the most benefit from them. I can't stand headphones being clamped around my head or earbuds stuck in my ears for long periods of time...so I listened to them with a standard receiver, CD player and speaker setup. I thought they sounded ok that way.
Now I've tried listening through my Polk Audio LSiM 703's connected to my VTA ST-120 and SP12 preamp and Marantz cd player. The sound is three dimensional without headphones and the audio is amazing.
