RE: "accurate reproduction of the musical event..."

Setting up speakers in a wide range of rooms over the past 45 years. '-)

I guess I'm balking at the notion that front and side walls have to be quiet and that resolution and detail are the prime objectives in "the absolute sound". I've been thinking about this more and more while attending concerts in theaters, taverns, churches, and living rooms and really listening to the sound and trying to figure out why it sounded that way. I came to the conclusion that echo/reverb was key. Music doesn't come at you from a wall; it envelops you from the entire room. With that in mind I've been working with the acoustics of my listening room rather than trying to turn it into an audiophile speaker chamber.

I've been sitting up late listening to music the past few nights because it sounds so good. I've made comparisons in the sound with and without the ambience speakers and I'm keeping them in place.
