I feel you pain

Getting a true concert hall effect from a home audio system is not a matter of better high frequency reproduction or flatter frequency response, adding a tweeter or ten or doing anythng that is already being done today only better. Concert hall realism comes from recreating the same acoustical effect a concert hall creates but in your listening room. Unfortunately, that is beyond the current state of the art. There are no HT systems, SACDs, or other straightforward equipment you can buy which will bridge the gap, all claims to the contrary notwithstanding. I have experimented with this problem even longer than with the indirect tweeter array idea, nearly 33 years now. I've built 2 experimental systems which could in many cases "get the job done." But setting it up, adjusting it for the room, and adjusting it for each recording is beyond all but the most advanced and determined audiophiles. And it is principly for classical music, choral and pipe organ music, operas, etc although it can enhance other types of music as well. There may be other experimental ideas out there besides my own but they are not in general distribution either.
