In Reply to: RE: Speakers as Venues posted by Bob Neill on November 14, 2014 at 10:12:39
Back in the day there was discussion in the audio press about whether playback represented a window to the original event, or was a new event in itself. Anyway, this reminded me of these sorts of philosophical debates. For me, it depends on the recording. Something carefully crafted in the studio really doesn't exist as a single event until it is played back. The speakers might as well be the venue, because there's no other point of reference.
With recordings of live music I'd like to think I can be transported to the original venue with everything intact, but in reality the result would be something a bit more complicated.

The "venue" is in your mind. Sure, the signals were contrived in a different venue - by the producers and engineers (through their playback system... in their minds?)
I love reviewing some of the old Heyser articles, with definite Einsteinian influences of individual manifolds that we base our observational frame of references upon, each with folds and potential catastrophic effects as they relate to the imagined performances we build this hobby around.
Imagine life in Audio if there had never been a microphone...

Observe, before you think. Think before you open your yap. Act on the basis of experience.
