In Reply to: "Tableau", is that what you hear when you hear live acoustic music in a concert hall. posted by viridian on November 30, 2021 at 20:13:49:
The system should present high contrast - recordings are a series of all kinds of effects. Some recordings will have a wider sounding stage or deeper but not all of them. Some speakers like the infamous Bose 901 create a huge stage but it always seems to create a huge stage. The speaker's design imparts a strong signature on the music. Now in itself, it may be pleasing - at a bar in South Korea they were really very effective because they sent sound all over the place and the sheer coverage of the speakers in a big space was quite impressive - and given it's there mainly as background music they're terrific in that application.
I have read a LOT of reviews of my speakers over the years where some have called the imaging and staging vague, small, and panoramic. Panoramic and small - huh? Well, it depends a lot on the recording, the room and the set-up. In the same review, they were called coloured and transparent. One guy said they can't rock another guy who is a metal drummer said they were awesome for heavy metal.
I generally prefer not to notice staging or imaging because I don't think either are the least bit important to music playback. I never watch a live event and say - gee look those violins are 7 feet to the left of the pianist - isn't that awesome? Who cares. I am listening to the sound of the piano and the sound of the violins and to the singer and to the overall music not where the musicians are located.
But in the end, each to their own bugaboos about music replay.
