Default once and for all...

So my inclination to say that hall simulators are as misguided as the
Bose 901, for the same reason, that assumptions have to be made
about the sound source, and that the added ambience is not necessarily
accurate. However, the hall simulators are much more adjustable.


That's the point, of course. The idea is to adjust the simulator to
approximate the sound of the recording. Neither the JVC nor Yamaha sounds
"phony" or artificial.

If you've never heard a proper demonstration, you need to.
