In Reply to: Large Format Panel Type Speakers and Image Size posted by Mister Pig on March 30, 2023 at 08:35:01:
My tri-amped DEQX'd MG 3.6 speakers can either produce the image of a string quartet playing on a stage, instruments and positions of proper size and location - or they can produce an image of giant violins and cellos. It all depends on how the recording is miked. If you had mini-monitors all string quartets would have "reasonable size" but when I've listened on things like LS-3/5a's it sounded more like the musicians were in MY room, whereas a good string quartet recording on the MG 3.6's sounds like I am listening in a concert hall. I like the concert hall better than inviting the musicians into my living room
GOOD recordings sound great. BAD recordings sound kind of OK but the image will be weird.
Same for acoustic blues, folk (US folk or world music) and so on.
Rock and roll sounds BIG. Whenever I heard rock in a live venue it was BIG. So, the image there is correct as far as I can tell.
Modern electronic music sounds projected into space, there's no "realistic" reference for studio-created recordings like this; it sounds very good with wonderful spatial qualities. It would sound different on mini-monitors, maybe more "planted" but not as spacious.
Symphonies - recorded halfway decently - sound just right.
Science doesn't care what you believe.
