Okay, let me rephrase it: There seem to be some fans (and creators) of IR's on
this list. And at least you seem to be a fan of binaural. So maybe someone
could combine these two and produce a stereoset of IR's of the following
scenario:
 - A normal-to-good studio room with reasonable acoustics.
 - A pair of studio-speakers (which most of you seem to have) and a
binaural-recording-mic in the optimal stereo-listening position.
The resulting sound (after feeding this IR into jack_convolve, etc.) should
(from my experience and understanding) be as if you are listening the music
in the studio...

Thats what I wish, perhaps someone has the resources to create this.

Thanks in advance,

Arnold
