"Two mics in an anechoic chamber - only represent the sound propagating in the direction of the microphone. An instrument, Cello, violin, trumpet, etc. radiate sound in all directions and differently in most directions."
Very true. We had a discussion about this over the summer. Do a search for the word "radiate" in, I think, the Speaker Asylum. In that thread, I made this very point, and noted that loudspeaker radiation patterns are "fixed" with regard to dispersion vs. frequency and don't vary according to the instrument(s) being reproduced, e.g., the radiation pattern is the same at, say, 1,200 Hz, whether the speaker is reproducing the sound of a trumpet or a flute or a snare drum.
These are two reasons why loudspeakers, in ANY room, will never sound like a real instrument in that room.
