Post Subject: Preferences vs. Recordings vs. Room vs. SpeakersPosted by Paul S on: 9/18/2023
Robin, my live venue preferences are similar to yours. I was thinking about how we deal with the sound matrix in our listening rooms, based on the variables we are presented with. I remember when I gave no thought to soundstage and little thought about perspective. As I've reported at GSC, I've long heard the recording itself along with the recorded musical performance, and the recording processes and resultant effects have gotten ever more varied, including perspective and soundstage, as my system has "improved". I am thinking that this means I am manipulating my speakers and where I sit in order to "shape" the the music from the recording's sound according to my preference. I did not want The Loudspeakers to have "built-in", ever-present sound effects, and I think if they do, then it isn't much. However, I can move them around to create sound effects, and I have been doing this. I hope to find locations for my new speakers and my chair where all sorts of Music will be presented "at its best" without moving my speakers or chair, despite the huge variety of music types and recordings. I like to follow my feelings about the Music and go from LP to LP or CD, composer to genre to performer, etc. with minimal time lag between performances, and thinking about the process also takes away from my reveries.
Best regards,
