I've sometimes been thinking about exactly what you say
here,
i.e. a rear setup creating a natural ambiace, as it
happens in the
real theatre/hall due to reflections. Kindof a minimal
effect, just to
add what a spaciousness-wise 'flat' stereo recording don't
have.

Yes, I've tried some crappy consumer gear attempting to do
that,
of cause to no avail. I'll have a look at your suggested
gear.


One tweek I did that makes reverb in stereo much more
audible was to treat my room acoustically with bass traps,
broadband absorption and diffusers.

Once the room acoustics were in check the reverb in the
recordings became much more a part of the music. Fact is if
the room is blowing back early reflections from your
speakers you are masking the low level detail that provides
the reverb in the recording. Adding after the fact reverb
is not going to fix your room.

Of cause not. However, I fail to see how the fixed room can
provide what's not present in a 2D stereo recording.

I cant see it either but I sure can hear 3d in stereo
recordings in my treated listening room. Of course some
recordings have more than others but I do not hear any room or
3d with any stereo gear in untreated rooms. I just hear the
untreated room. This is kind of odd but intuitive once one
listens for awhile in a treated room.

Listening to pop music in my treated room I can hear things
like the different reverbs or delays on the individual
instruments and where the effects are returned in the
panorama. I had a hard time telling if there was any reverb in
the untreated room.
