In Reply to: "Tableau", is that what you hear when you hear live acoustic music in a concert hall. posted by viridian on November 30, 2021 at 20:13:49:
"All this imaging and soundstaging mumbo jumbo is an amusical parlor trick unrelated to the concert hall experience of music. It's just like going to the Louvre and commenting on the wallpaper."
The objective to "soundstage" is to create the illusion of "seventh row center" in the concert hall....
I've often moved to prime seating locations after the intermission of classical concerts..... (During the concert prior to intermission, I look for empty seats to relocate to after the intermission.) In assuming the desired seat after the intermission, the result is the perception of a soundstage that could never be matched on a good stereo system...... (I sometimes close my eyes and pretend that I'm listening to the "world's greatest stereo system.") But the experience for 90 percent of the patrons, unfortunately, doesn't really capture that.
Your comment basically reflects that "90 percent".........
But in the realm of high-end audio, we try to create the illusion of how the "10 percent" in the best seats would take in the music.
