RE: "Soundstaging and imaging are, IMHO, two of the most critical pieces of the "live" sound." ??????????????????

"The late reflections within a club or auditorium are almost impossible to recreate at home with two-channel audio."

Not so Bass Nut. Those are on the recording and can be heard as such. Do to superposition of the room acoustics it is not exactly the same sensation but it can be quite similar.

"But a live solo guitar will still be a point source -- whether the point is small or large makes no difference."

So what? The source may be mono but you hear in binaural. This gives a distinct sense of the space and this, Bass nut, is soundstage.

"Hall ambience (late reflections) is an important factor in live music. "

It is also an important factor in recorded music. When one listens to a live recording if it is well done and well reproduced (the big if) then it WILL sound quite close to what one hears live because the information of the space IS ON THE RECORDING.

"The soundstage is important for large orchestras, which I didn't think of in my first post.
"

As I listen to a lot of classical and attend concerts it is a big point for me and why it is a valid reference for a system doing the job correctly.
