Re: Since you asked...


[When you're at a live concert, is all of the applause entirely in front of you, or is some or most of it behind you?]
Some of it is behind me, unless I'm in the back row. Then again, I really don't care if I hear applause or not. I'm there to hear the music.

I see I wasn’t clear with my question here – see the discussion with Jim below.


[Do you really feel you can hear the back of the recorded space (club, auditorium, concert hall, or whatever) with only your two front channels?]
Yes, with recordings that have that "information".

I guess I’ll just have to tip my hat to you. So you hear the rear information from behind you even though your sound sources are in front of you?


Finally, there are a lot of things involved in musical enjoyment for me, including acoustical space. Others include lifelike timbre of instruments/voices, inner detail, texture of instruments/voices, accurate portrayal of harmonics, pitch definition, dynamics, etc. I could go on, but I suspect you get my point.

I not only get your point, I agree with your point!
