Good points, Rick. This is pretty interesting stuff (to met at least) and, if I may comment further...If the movie screen is a place to blend physical reality and psychic reality, so is the space between our speakers. Sometimes the picture leans toward hyper-realism, at other times it leans toward romanticism or fantasy. At it's best, I think that the overall sense of illusion manages to strike a fine balance between the two extremes of perception.
I am also reminded of what film director Wim Wenders said about black and white photography. He often preferred black and white imagery to color imagery because of black and white's uncanny ability to provide a sort of intense "X-Ray view" into the characteristics of physical objects and the surrounding auras that seem to imply color. It is known that many people dream in black and white, rather than in color. Then again, some of us dream in full color while others dream in a mixture of black and white and color.
Something similar to this happens in audio at times, when my systems seem to accentuate the hard "structural" components of live sound. Some times I think I'm hearing the sonic equivalent of black and white, while at other times I am struck by what might be called the sonic equivalent of a plush, technicolor presentation. I doubt that everyone "sees" the musical performance in this way, so some people might roll their eyes when reading this. Just the same, weird things are sometimes worth mentioning.
All types of sonic presentations are artificial ones but each type (or combination of types) can represent an important aspect of the musical experience, at least for some.
