In the Thread: What Passes for "Space" in Home Audio?
Post Subject: Space is a huge issuePosted by rowuk on: 4/7/2024
Space means so many things at the same time:
1) the size of the venue
2) the location of the individual instruments
3) the space between the instruments
4) the size of the instrument
Unfortunately, we can only guess about the original venue unless we have a video. If our presentation is "plausible" then I am usually happy. My reference for #4 is a DG record of Schuberts "Schöne Müllerin" with Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau and Gerald Moore (DG2530 544). The piano has proper "weight" and "size" and Fischer-Dieskau has a very "humanlike" location in the stereo spread. One of the technically most satisfying recordings that I own.Rerurn to Romy the Cat's Site
