Most people dont recognize the acoustical impact of our own room in the rendition of the CHOICES and TRADE-OFF in the original room or studio recording by the engineer...

Perfect recording DONT EXIST........

 

These 2 acoustics the original one and our own room mix together...

Not only on the count of imaging and soundstage but more importantly also about the timbre of voices and instruments...

 

There is 2 possibilities :

First you own an OPTIMALLY acoustically controlled room...The state of the art...

But this will cost way more than the costlier audio system...

Second you can study acoustic and use his principles to manage your own room et low cost...

I can in my room at will direct the sound and completely change all imaging, soundstage timbre and others acoustic cues...

In some recording i can have an out of the head headphone effect, all music surrounding my head but not in my head like an headphone...

In some other voices coming from back and front simultaneously...

In some recording the instruments are beside me on each side...

In some others the music fill in the room , not from back or beside me not between the speakers, but float in the room...

Acoustic is Queen...

The choices of pieces of gear which we own for most of us really dont matter more than acoustic matter at the end...The only exception is very bad piece of gear,,,,

😁😊

The effect the OP feel with some album is dependent of his own acoustic settings not only from the recorded album by itself...

Put the same piece in another room/system and the soundstage will change...

Try to listen track from beside your back head like i suggest with some recording....Or instruments and voices around you or beside....

People think that the "sound" is canned in the recording like a soup ready to taste from a can....Acoustic of the room ( geometry,topology,acoustic content) is almost half of the conditions acting on a soundscape with the recording engineer choices in his album...

 

 

Just one among many recorded album ...

In fact this last one is to say that there exist too much records with a beautiful soundstage to think ONLY ONE could beat what all there is...

 

This is less acoustically spectacular...

But it is probably the greatest interpretation of Monteverdi madrigals...

Acoustic recording is interessing and the voices comes around my head sometimes and fill the room and are not only between the speakers either....

 

This youtube file is easy to look for, and here also the bells must fill the room and dancing all around you beside you and coming from all directions..

You must be circled by them ...

The sound must never be only between speakers for sure , this is true for any recording...

But the sound must be around and beside you even sometimes around your head...

The youtube file will not be ideal but give an idea...

These voices must be around you during all the concert and not only in front of you, in some case the voices comes from behind my head, around my head and beside me in the room... For example the piece begiining at 36 minute present a male voice and a female voice duo each voice must come from each side of your back head back of you...

You must see then walking and speaking...

This is anyway the best interpretation i know of this opera and the best recorded...

My system value is 500 bucks...

But my acoustic is very good...
