Peter:Your post served as a large helping of food for thought about how orchestral pieces are actually recorded. I was just thinking out of the box there.
We're basically in agreement about the reality of reproducing live sound. It may "sound" live, but it's no recreation of a live event by any means (IMO).
By the way, I like the design philosophy of the Orions - and I hope to get a chance to audition a pair of them one day!!
Happy Listening,
Presto
