The imaging thing is an interesting subject. Like many, I get to hear lots of live local music. Small scale performances. Some acoustic, some not. In almost ALL cases, "imaging" is vague at best, and often non-existent. It's really a visual thing, and if you close your eyes at a concert it can be very difficult to aurally locate one musician amongst several nearly as accurately as you can with even a modest home set up. If amplification/sound reinforcement is involved, then all bets are off. "Imaging" is a very cool virtue of home audio, but not entirely realistic. A form of hyper-realism. Leads me to believe that laser-like targeting of instruments within an acoustic space is largely an artifact of microphone technique, and studio production. -- Curt962 Transporter...Touch....Boom...... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Curt962's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=31949 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=87051 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
