Immersive Audio and How to Achieve It

With timbre experience , immersiveness is the second key acoustic concepts , if distortion is under control to begin with... 😊 It is true even with headphone ....

In stereo as in multichannel system , but with different tools, means and results for sure...

... A live performance "immerses" you and frees you up to move around the room, the dance floor and still be immersed ...

Your statement reveals you have very limited experience with live music performances. You might be surprised to learn that many of the sonically best music venues have no dance floor at all.

immersiveness is the second key acoustic concepts

The immersive community recognizes this and today even budget level immersive receivers have dsp features built in to help address the acoustics (audyssey, dirac,ARC, etc). Your $$$$ two channel preamps simply ignore this valuable feature.

Would you concede that the best performance spaces address acoustics?

You underestimate physical acoustic... I used a grid of Helmmoltz tuned  resonators in my past room...

And for DSP the BACCH filters are the top of the acoustic experience  right now  ...

And my goal is not recreating "a live event"...

My goal is to retrieve the original set of acoustic trade-off used by the recording engineers TRANSLATED in my acoustic room or with my headphone ( but most headphone are badly designed for this ) ...

Immersiveness in acoustic is related to the basic concept of "listener envelopment" which is related to the ratio between the sound sources location and volume and the listener real and virtual position ...
