I sent this thread to someone who has a sound stage we dream about
and asked for his take. 'Do these guys have a clue'?
"Sadly no. However, the reference to Roger Water Amused to Death is relevant. The soundstage effects are in the recording, as they normally are. You do have to set up your speakers so you get the full effect, and the room plays a part, but overall it’s how the recording is engineered the makes it happen".
All the best,
Anthony
