Why don't more recordings have soundstage outside of speakers

Ya all got to up your reading abilities. It says HYPOTHESIS in the first paragraph. Don't take no genius to know it is a hypothesis when they say it is a hypothesis. Ya not getting the basics here of how this all works and ya seem confused by more than that.

You are comical!

For sure hypothesis is used in the first line of this research paper....Guess why?

It is not the word "hypothesis" the problem, it was your way to say in a discredited manner that it is "ONLY AN HYPOTHESIS"...

In all reasearch papers EVERYBODY know or you must know that any research start with a "hypothesis" justifying the experiment...The word hypothesis dont discredited the value of an experiment....Save in your head...

Then for you to say it is "only an hypothesis"  is like saying nothing of that is PROVED.... It is a way to denigrate the paper which inspired me....For sure nothing is proved definitively here but it inspire me and it is a very interesting "hypothesis".... At least say it.....Spite it.....

 Then for you to say that is is "only an hypothesis", it is not an argument, but a sophism......

English is not my first language but i know how to read and think.....And i know you a bit now...

I find all the disdain for tricks and gimmicks quite amusing - the whole thing is a trick unless you summon your own string quartet every time you listen to music. But I guess you could say that there is a continuum of musical production from the simplest mono recording through multi-mic setups to completely electronic music production. Personally I don't draw a line where one side is right and the other is wrong.
I like the threads here that make me go away and check my thinking, so I put on Bill Evans - Sunday at the Village Vanguard. From the minimal information I can find this appears to have been recorded with a three mic setup straight onto two track... nearly as simple as you can get. Listening on both my nearfield monitors and main speakers the instruments themselves spread slightly wider than the speakers themselves, it is however the ambience which is completely enveloping and gives you the sense of space. I've taken care setting up my listening space but it's a long way from being acoustically optimal.

Thanks for your useful and interesting post...

I will listen this Bill Evans....

Great... it's a brilliant LP.
