> To faithfully reproduce such orchestra [...]

It has never been clear to me what the goal of home playback is supposed to be.

Let's simplify from a full orchestra to just a solo piano. Is the goal

1. to sound like it would if that piano was being played in my living room, or

2. to sound like what I'd have heard if I was there in the concert hall sitting in a good seat when the recording was made, or

3. to sound like what it would sound like if a replica of my living room was built inside the concert hall but with walls that do not transmit sound, with my speakers replaced by speaker-sized holes in the wall behind where the speakers normally sit, and I was sitting in that replica living room during the concert?
