Re: Allow me to add a point?

"And even if live events were recorded correctly, there's still the acoustics of the listening room that is commingled with the ambient cues on the disc during playback."

And what do you suppose would happen if actual musicians performed in your listening room? Wouldn't the same cues have an effect. So far the technology hardly exists to reproduce a one on one match. Look hard at a grand piano. Think about where the sound emerges, were it goes, how it arrives at your ears. Then do the same for a typical loudspeaker. There is no substitution of parts, no combination, which could yield a device which could produce sound which duiplicates the piano. The concept behind the speaker simply isn't adequate for it. The realization of a particular one is besides the point.
