RE: "Simply miked recordings from the dawn of stereo..."

"...more so those of jazz ensembles are astoundingly rich in spatial information and image placement is very convincing with tweeters in. With the tweeters nearing the side walls, this does not work as well."

LOL, I love the reaction of people who hear some of these old recordings on Maggies for the first time. One of them once said that we had already invented a "better-than-surround" experience but we just did not know it then. I guess recording technology was way ahead of playback capabilities for a long while.

Then, in the 60s and 70s, we often got burned by the multi-miking free-for-all. It took time to realize that "more" was usually not "better" for real stereo.
