RE: So, like I've asked you before . . .

I've done a similar test with a Steinway B grand piano. Not as difficult as a violin, perhaps. My results were slightly better, because I had miked close enough that I didn't get noticeable extra reverberation. It took some work positioning the microphones to get the sound properly dialed-in. (Easier to do with a piano, which doesn't move during a performance.) It also took some careful adjustments with the playback volume control. With the final version any differences between the live and recorded sound were similar to those that you would get when listening to the live instrument when moving from one seat to the next. Microphones were AKG C451Es and speakers Snell A III's.

Of course this is the easiest possible test case: one instrument and one room.
