" There are no "traditional" speakers with only frontal radiation (regardless of their emissive sources) unless they are in-wall "
Ok. But if you walk around a speaker (i have done this) in a good listening room the lateral and rear emission are much much lower than the frontal emission.
I am completely for speakers with controlled emission.
I love absolutely horn speakers (when well done) and they have controlled emission.
Let me be a little silly ... in my stupid mind i could imagine a mic with a horn being the best method for a signal played back thorugh a horn. To keep the patterns (recording and play-back) absolutely the same between recording and play back.
If you see what i mean.
" Now, there is another issue.
If the mics transduced only sources from the front and your speakers had only frontal radiation (all theoretical), the only source of ambient field during playback would be from the unavoidable reflections in your own particular room and nothing like that of the space in which the performance was recorded "
Yes this i understand and actually i would do anything to avoid room reflections. I like the analogy with the bats. They see object if the object reflects sounds. Put them in anechoic chamber and they crash against the walls. Instead if you want to see them getting crazy put them in a reverberant room.
I would do anything to tame reflections.
They are devastating for soundstage.
However i would try to do some recording with cardioids .. i am very curious to listen then through the speakers the results.
Thanks a lot again.
Kind regards,
