Re: My $0.02.....

"When we get very close go faithful reproduction, the "technical" and "psychoacoustical" means approaches identical ends."

This can happen. Apparently, if you play back the music in a concert hall, reproduced music can sometimes sound a lot like the real thing.

But most of our home listening rooms are not acoustically much like concert halls. If you brought the performers home and they played for you, THEY would not sound much like they do in a concert hall, either. In the introductory remarks to Flanders and Swann's "A Song of Reproduction," Michael Flanders remarked, "Personally, I can't think of anything I should hate more than having an orchestra actually playing in my sitting room: but *they* seem to like it and it's about them that we've written this next song."
