Can you imagine a listening room setup like that? You might get just what the producer heard, but do you really think you'd enjoy the result? I'm talking not just about the speaker and amplifier choices (which clearly will reveal what's on the master tape, that's why they were chosen, I'd expect, but would not be my first choice for listening), but also the proximity of the speakers to the listening position, the intervening console, etc. Shows how good (and important) the best recording engineers and producers can be, given that most of us don't have rooms like that but still can get terrific sound from their creations.
