I don't disagree with what you're saying in your last post. Let me clarify:

Recreate Soundstage / venue acoustics: not correct
*Simulate* venue acoustics: possibly, to some extent

And yes, I agree that 2-mic methods are going to give one a chance while mixed multi-mic recordings are just a facsimilie. That said, the two mics and how they are positioned will greatly affect the perceived "stage". Even so, two mics x feet apart is going to give an entirely different effect than a stereo mic or two mics placed in closed proximity but at different angles.

Even with 2-mics there are a number of different methods.

To say that a system is "set up correctly to play two mic recordings properly" is therefore a really big stretch. Sure, you can play with placement, toe-in and distance to back wall depth. But "correct"? I think reviewers and many philes have crossed the line into dream land once again.

Cheers,
