Also, it is a great shame if you didn't try the quartet recordings - you are missing the only interesting acoustic..... these are very illustrative regarding other issues I mentioned (constant excitation resonance for example).
Yes, I agree. I just listened it and I do found the first quartet recording way more interesting then the first two files. Still, there is a sense of thinness when the frequencies going down. Better instruments are open it’s harmonic richness up from distance, still there is no needs to stick the overtones into the body of sound. I still found the quartet recording too bright and too lean, the room is bright as well but it would not bother me if it was “life”, still it does bother me in the recording. I think if in that recording you have has more LF mass then it would be more balanced. Try an RL filter with “open bottom” (this is VERY critical – do not close the notch – it will kill Sound) – I think it migh be beneficial in your case. If you wish to get an example of the tonal balance that I am trying to hear then look how the Switzerland company DivoX records chamber music. I do not agree with everything they do – they record too close and too hot. However, their balance is very much not “thin” and they do not go “#” in their recording tone.
