Hi ! thanks a lot for the helpful reply.
I feel the complexity of the subject and also how challenging is the task of capturing the soundstage in a way that can be played back on just two stereo speakers.
For instance i read about the 4 channels recording and that technique is much easier to understand ... 4 mics and four speakers like Kimber method.
But i would like to stay on stereo giving up to lateral and back soundstage in the sweet spot. Only frontal emission can be enough.
Like watching the event through a window ... a wide open window.
This thing of the virtual soundstage is so exciting that i cannot describe.
Very few times i have had the experience. And also with systems that on the paper were less than optimal.
I remember in particular a system with the two speakers in the picture.
It was a weird experience because i was clearly watching these huge monsters but after a while with the system warmed up they disappear sonically ... and i felt the sound coming from a point behind them.
Unbelievable.
I was seeing them visually but not sonically.
Then the guy switched the lights off and only a wonderful soundstage remained. Very impressive .... and how dynamic !!!!!
Another time with Wilson speakers and Krell electronics i heard very clearly a triangle played two meters in front of the right speaker !!!
I really do not know why people do not pay attention only to soundstage.
The virtual soundstage is everything.
The goal must be to provide the sensation of being transported in the place where the event has happened.
Amazing.
Maybe multichannel is really the only chance ?

Speaking of headphones they have huge difficulties in reproducing sound coming from the front. Practically impossible. No chance.
Maybe with some sort of processing in the future ...
However the HPs concept is absolutely fantastic for other aspects.
Thanks a lot again.
Kind regards,
bg
