Default Re: The Audiophoolery Thread.

I have tried the game at orchestral concerts of closing my eyes and listening as if it was a audio system.

Invariably I find myself thinking "Sounds muffled. And the imaging is lousy". But that is the way it actually is.

Indeed Wagner, in his design spec for the Festspielhaus at Bayreuth, the orchestra pit plays through a slot so that the music emerges amorphously and does not detract from the singing. Bad orchestral imaging by design.
