All I am trying to tell you is that the live sound has a complex pattern of
direct, early reflected, and reverberant components to the total sound
field. If you reproduce what you have recorded with just the direct sound
from a pair of speakers, any speakers, the reproduction will sound different
from the original and you have got to replace the missing fields somehow.
The sound doesn't just "go into your ears" and you hear the original.

Tell us something we don't know.

On any playback system, the spatial nature of what was recorded is changed
into the spatial characteristics of that playback system.

Not with Ambisonic recording and playback. Not with the use of a hall
synthesizer.

Really, not with any system. In every case, what you get on playback is
the sum of the effects of the original hall, combined with the effects of
the playback. Consequently, the original recording needs to be drier than
it would be if it were intended for playback in an anechoic chamber. But
not really very much so.
