General speaker/room design question.

I find it surprisingly eazy to hear if music is comming from speakers or from a life preformance. Even if the music is coming from the best mastering quality speaker/rooms. Questions: -Is it posible (in the future?) that a speaker/room combination can reproduce the soundfield of a life preformance so that people can't hear the difference between the real preformance and the reproduced preformance? -And what is nessesary to achieve this "blameless" reproduction of the life preformance? :?:

Because you are listening to material that is not designed sound like "you are there" in a room that is designed to let hear that "you are there." Stereophonic (level panned mono) can and does sound like "you are there" as opposed to "it is woth you." OF course this ignores the "I make it what I want philosophy. If you want more discussion on this the Studio Design or Wombat hole is more appropriate. Andre

I alway's thought that clasical music and acoustic jazz was suposed to sound life like. But it never does. Why? What has to be done to make it life like?

With clasical music, the norm is despite any good stereo method used, numerous spot mics are used to catch what otherwise would be inaudible instruments/passages. This impairs the main mike array's "illusionary accuracy." With jazz, define what each instrument sounded like in the original performance to begin with. :) These are just starters. For accuracy in classical, listen Larry Fines work with the Chicago Symphony. Andre
