with 3 microphones suspended from the ceiling and quite a ways back.
If memory serves me well Jack Renner (Telarc engineer) explained in an interview to TAS this accomplished three things it gave a smoother sound especially to strings, increased ambiance and allows bass frequencies (which are very long) to be both deep and have huge impact without the use of any equalization! There was over a page of text explaining how closely mic’ed bass instruments diminished bass response, some of it of course over my head. But maybe someone who has or remembers the interview could fill in the details.
But if the bass of these un-EQ'ed Telarc soundstream releases sounds out of proportion, does the bass on your system sound out of proportion with Reference Recordings LPs as well? Pomp and Pipes for one has even deeper and stronger bass than any of the Telarc Soundstreams except for the cannon shots on Telarcs 1812 Overture? If so could your speakers be too close to the rear walls? Most manufactures recommend 1 1/2 to 2 feet from the rear walls.
With the exception of a little subduing of the high end which may be caused by distance microphone technique coupled with 50kHz sampling my Telarc LPs and Soundstream SACDs have very realistic sonics with superb deep bass response. My 4-ohm Infinity Reference Kappa 7's have 12-inch woofers fed 325 watts by my Adcom GFA-555II Power Amp's so I can reproduce quite powerful bass! Which I really miss on recordings that are bass shy.
