For stereo systems, we start with two small microphones with strictly limited ability to capture an acoustic musical event at a particular combination of phases, reflections, amplitudes, etc. in a relatively low-level voltage situation -- I mean if you have ever done any recording then you know the huge differences if you move the microphone a few centimeters in one direction or another or rotate a microphone, overload to near clipping, use microphones with different frequency responses, etc. -- to take from this two low-level signals and then not simply reproduce these signals but somehow attempt to amplify them in a room with its own acoustic signature to try to recreate the acoustic energy of the original event...
It is not a perfect idea to begin with, no matter what road you take. Maybe you should restrict yourself to binaural headphone reproduction.Rerurn to Romy the Cat's Site
