I gave ya the answer above. Okay, I gave ya a hint. What happens when the sound from the left speaker reaches the right ear? What happens when the sound from the right speaker reaches the left ear? The sound from the other speaker not gonna magically disappear. The studio tricks aren’t exaggerating stuff, they are just crude noise cancellation, cept the noise is the other speaker. Those tricks let each ear hear only one speaker sort a, just like headphones. Reflections got nothing to do with it cept creating false images. Sounds real good too. Most people like it. Makes it feel like you are there. But get carried away and what’s in front of you, the important stuff, starts to sound like crap.This does not correspond at all to my experience with my room controls..
Sorry for ytour obsession with "tricks"....
A coherent working with an optimal timing of the waves for each ears can do magic....
A tuning of the room with resonators distributed relatively to the speakers characteristic bass driver bandwidth and tweeter bandwidth response in the treated room can do magic....
A coherently working magic manifesting itself differently relatively to each recording but always staying coherent is not an acoustical "flaw" it is what i call control AT WILL....
You seem very used to work with TOOLS and digital format processing, but working with a specific room and ONLY mechanical devices and our ears it is not the same experience sorry....
A room acoustic is easier to solve by the ears than by the complex equation describing it....It cost nothing....And if is tuned relatively to the users ears....And timbre is not a sum of frequencies only on a dial, timbre is an experience in a room for some ears....
