Actually that was not the intent exactly. It does use "head spacing" for 
the mics, but otherwise it's designed to give a good stereo image from 
speakers.

I quite sure that Juerg Jecklin knew in great detail the physics of 
sound around the human head. But he was not trying to make a binaural 
mic setup. Or even a imitation human head. He was focused on the stereo 
image from the two speakers.

How true, and not just for this design.
