In Reply to: Re: Concert Hall at home -- high frequency rolloff is a dynamic event? posted by theaudiohobby on August 9, 2006 at 04:37:33:
Trying to duplicate the level of reverberation heard at a live performance from a home sound system is impossible and if you try, the results are disasterous. The reason...simple, the reverberant field in a concert hall is one which not only is time varying and of changing spectral transfer but is a vector field of highly uniform angular intensity, that it has a very low angular energy gradient. Sound from a home sound system by contrast reaches the ears as two scalar fields presented as two very high angular gradient vectors. Even as a pseudo source for the instruments themselves, its ability to create the illusion of individual instruments speread across a performing stage it's difficult and unreliable at best. As for the much more uniform reverberant field it's clearly hopeless. The result sounds like the musicians are playing inside the Holland Tunnel and you're just outside. Awful!
