If three spaced omni microphones "produce a confused, colored, and inaccurate sonic picture" why are the most realistic sounding recordings (Telarc, Mercury Living Presense, RCA Living Stereo, etc.) made with spaced omni microphones?On my 2 channel stereo system recordings made with omni microphones produce and wide, deep and especially tall soundstage with each instrument clearly in it's space and the room surrounding it. Kavi made fun of my being able to hear pinpoint images from recordings made with omni mikes, well it's not just though speakers my Sennheiser HD-580 headphones produce a nice wide soundstage and with precise imaging. I will admit headphone imaging is a little weird as the soundstage is spread from the front of one's head to several feet behind the head and several feet on each side of the head, but quite believable non the less!
I would agree with the arguement that different peoples brains reconstruct the sonic clues differently from the finished recordings. But I think there is a reason that spaced omni's are the most popular microphones used in recording Audiophile Classical Orchestral music. Most listenings hear more realism with them.
And that is just my 2 cents,
