Shadorne: "How long this can last I don't know but for me it is realistic volume levels and effortless dynamics that seem to do the most for me to create the illusion of a live performance"
Keep that up and I bet it won't be happening for much longer... 1 to 2 hours at realistic SPLs will do wonders for your ENT doctor -lol
All kidding aside, I hear you about the dynamics. When i'm at a live show, say something at the 930 club in DC, i'm blown away by the percussive energy and raw power that fills the space. I don't sit there and think about imaging or timbre or any of this hi-fi nonsense (although sometimes I say there is no way home audio comes close,cripes, just listen to attack of drums up close...no way!)... and there is so much more of a physical aspect to live sound--who jumps up and down at home?..o snap I need to keep my head 6 inches w/in the sweet spot...when i'm there I can listen to that music sheet paper turn, and that wrinkle in Diana Krall's upper lip causing the texture to change ...even better than the real thing...?
So aside from me ripping the hobby I love,
John: hats off to you!! Though i'm not there quite yet I aim to be off the hampster wheel soon...
