Of cause not. However, I fail to see how the fixed room can

what's not present in a 2D stereo recording.

But, somehow, you CAN get 3D from 2-channel playback. It's
non-intuitive, and easy to argue against. But it happens.

Rather like the infinite resolution of analogue versus the
quantised
resolution of digital :-)


Tell you what. Put Madonna's Immaculate Collection on and if
you don't hear 3d from your stereo with that overdone example
of a recording your system is being drown out by the acoustics
of your room.

No matter how much you spend on equipment you will never hear
the detail that is in the recordings if your room is not
acoustically optimized. It amazes me how people will spend
thousands on cables and new tubes and then wonder why they
cant hear anything different.


Possibly they don't know anything about how to do so?..


That, and that a sound treated room doesn't look like a normal living
room, plus furnitures gets arranged according to indoor decoration
rules, leaving those speakers to look nicer and unobtrusive halfways
hidden next to some bookshelf.
Yes, I'm aware nice looking materials do exist; still...
