RE: You may find this hard to believe

JA himself admitted in an interview on Home Theater Geeks that he could not distinguish the sound of a recording he made of a Steinway piano and the piano itself when much of his audience could. He seemed in the interview to be puzzled by the whole thing.

Return to about the 31:00 mark and he clearly explains that while tonality and amplitude are similar, the reproduced sound lacks the "bigness". He goes on to speculate about the relative pressure differences when a small diaphragm must reproduce the same level as one far larger.

I find that apparent image size is quite important to my perception of live music. And why I favor tall line sources instead of mini monitors. :)
