...transport the home listener to the recording space, not to bring the musicians into your home. In that sense, it is clearly possible to create a suitable experience of hearing both orchestras and chamber groups realistically at home. Isn't this the very reason why multichannel audio is moving forward? Multichannel done well will create the recording space more effectively than simple two-channel, bringing the listener there. I use a Hafler ambience arrangement to get this type of experience in my home. On the best recordings, I experience a credible illusion of being at the concert hall/recording space, whether it is an orchestra going full bore on Mahler or a Bach cello suite.If you are expecting the musicians to be in your home you will be sadly disappointed because it is simply not a realistic expectation.
