Well said.  I think the idea with the audio/video matrix is to just get it "over the hump".  Too much ambient light, not enough or too much booze, etc., etc. and the whole thing implodes.  It is stupid, of course, but still we persist in comparing "live" and "reproduced" sound.  But NO ONE EVER confuses video with life. by which I mean that "the gap" is not only apparent to everyone but it is so apparent that it is never even discussed as such.  Not saying it is "verisimilitude" that makes our juices flow, but clearly evolved hi-fi and HT are different animals.

Best regards,
Paul S
