Well, I supose M8 is not a piece to "trifle" with. With 1,000 performers, I am guessing that this is a case where "ambience is everything", and like Clark says, no way to record it, especially the way Mahler "envisioned" it.

Last night Levine and BSO played a phenomenal Mahler 5, truly great play. I had some issues with BSO sound and I probably will bring it up to them. Tonight I decided to listen the M5 broadcast for the first time and I realized that my bass is gone. ...

Perhaps we mean different things by the word 'accident'. For me, an accidently great piece of art would be if I painted things at random on a canvas and it 'accidentally' turned out to be identical to a masterpiece by Rembrandt. Pure chan...

Romy, do you still have the "bass traps" from your previous house? I also hate an "over-damped" room, but it might be useful to know more about the "character" of the room modes you have mentioned. Sure, the 60 Hz plagues everyone. The RTA will te...
