One cold night in December many years ago I was at the Metropolitan Opera for Daniel Barenboim conducting Tristan and Isolde. I was in the first (lowest) balcony, 2nd row, about in the center. The most expensive seats, and I now see why. The best acoustics in the house. The voices of course were glorious, but what I couldn't believe was the timbre of the instruments. The sound was "other worldly" pure. I really was thinking for a bit, does this orchestra use different quality instruments or something? I really got what acoustics mean in a concert hall more than I ever have. I've sat in many seats at the Met and this was different. Barenboim was a master for this opera, and the balance between the orchestra and the vocalists was like a perfect, graceful dance. If you had Jeff Bezos' or Elon Musk's money I seriously doubt that you could put together a system that would recreate that experience. But my "audiophile training" and listening I'm sure played a large part in me being able to have this sort of appreciation.
