What are you talking about? Of course you hear sound coming from the
rear and sides. What do you think happens when sound waves hitwalls?
They don't just evaporate.
The reason you THINK all the sound is coming from the front is because
your eyes are open, and they are telling you that's where the sound is
coming from. But, as usual, your eyes are deceiving you.
The trick of good MC is to get thesideand rear speakers to mimic the
reflections you'd hear in the hall.
"A trick not at all well performed. Low level sounds (in actual
performance) are heard in the side and rear channels as being so
called "reflections" when in fact they couldn't have been and aren't.
It appears as a phoney gimmick, or "trick"; something like playing a 2
CH recording in a car and hearing the sound coming from all the
surround speakers. From where I sit in several decent halls there
aren't any side/rear refections of any appreciable volume. I can't
hear a soprano's low level voice from side or rear walls. If it were
the Met Opera House would have been torn down long ago.
I would suggest, then, that you have the side/rear channels turned up to
loud relative to the front. On classical music of most ever kind, you
should only hear a "spacious ambience" from the side/rear speakers.
