Speaker imaging

By that same logic, it's a recording, so none of it is real.

The only thing that really matters is what you hear. Imaging is a big part of enabling a stereo setup to deliver the best sound possible.

Its like going to the movies these days. 3-D done well can add a lot to the enjoyment of certain movies in particular. Or some might not bite and prefer standard 2-d. Neither is real, but both are differing imperfect renderings of reality, to different extents.

"...and your mind IMAGINes all manner of things about how great you can hear."

That's probably the key ingredient for good sound!

If your mind is happy.... :^)

No distractions=serious listening.

Look good, hear great.....

When the women start flocking around though, to hell with this silly hobby!
