It’s impossible to reconstruct the row 15 sound wit a stereo setup for two reasons.1. The vast majority of recordings have the mikes placed either above the conductor or the first row of seats, or worse, in the middle of the orchestra.2. A recording engineer acquaintance of mine did a study of Avery Fisher and Carnegie Hall, and found that from about the 3rd or 4th row on, a large percentage of the sound is hall reverberation, which cannot be recreated by two speakers. Only a “surround” system ( sorry Romy) with either multichannel recordings, or ambiance capture from the original recording, or recreation a la Romy can successfully recreate row 10/or 20 or 30 depending on the multi speaker configuration and the process. I've found that only Romy's method, andAuro 3 D can do it properly. Both day lay and dts screw it up. Of course, multichannel recording with proper miking do it also, but are few and far between.
