In Reply to: Totally different experiences--a stereo recording is a distinct art form posted by John Marks on February 23, 2015 at 07:44:29:
"I have never heard a stereo reproduce what it sounded like to hear Sir Colin Davis conduct Gerontius and I was sitting in the third row. Not just the dynamics and bass but also the nearly 50-foot width and depth (depth counting pipe organ chambers) of the sound source."
And I assume you've heard some cost-no-object systems. Is it safe to conclude that audio gear will never bring us the realism of a live concert, regardless of how much money one invests? Or are you of the mind that one should "never say never" regarding this matter? Is there any technology on the horizon that makes you sanguine or do the laws of physics prevent you from duplicating your third row experience in your home?
