I find the arguments posed lend themselves greatly to favoring
directional speakers.
If the spatial nature of the original venue is captured in the
recording and one wishes to create the illusion of the original venue
in the playback room, limiting the interaction of the original
recording with the playback room enhances the illusion.
And how exactly does that work? Does the sound from each speaker enter the
appropriate ear and fool you into hearing "into" the recorded acoustic
space? Tell me just what you think is happening with stereo.
Omnidirectional speakers at home isn't going to fix that. He's
got a better chance at coming close through a near field setup with
directional speakers than
omnis in a new room creating a unique to that room spatial pattern.
Maybe if you put the speakers almost on top of your ears, that would be the
best stereo of all. No, nobody is confusing stereo with binaural. How could
I even think it.

I don't understand how this subjective assessment of "auditory scene"
has any relevance to accurate recreation of a sound field.
You're kidding, right?
I'm fairly confident the Orions dynamic capability (ability to create
the illusion of the raw power of an orchestra) is well beyond anything
a box with RS in wall speakers can create yet that didn't seem to be a
factor in your assessment. I wonder why?
Why do you say that? Where did you get that?
Scottie, you're a great man - I read your stuff in the Recording magazine -
but like most others you have not thought all that much about stereo theory
beyond "two ears, two speakers." But it just does not work that way.
Everyone here is just spouting back to me what he already believed before,
and not trying to see what I am saying. I don't know how I can "unhook" you
guys from your preconceptions.
If someone could just give me a nod, an inkling, some interest or partial
agreement, maybe you see my point about the spatial nature of the original
vs the reproduction, anything but all this "I didn't believe that before so
it can't be true" crap. Just give me something. I can't see where I have
left out anything of the explanation. Just start your next post with "Gary,
that is an interesting point about the________________________
