Re: Thoughts on the use of large speaker arrays

I was reading through 2 exceptional threads:

viewtopic.php?f=17&t=6498#p45476
Again, reminder, I am interested in reproducing original sound in private environment.
Based on information, especially from Martin, HW works the best (or should I say perfectly ) using well done wet sample set and listening on headphones. He was explaining that it is exactly the same result if sound mixes in the air or digitally by HW. So if you listen on headphones there will be no difference if you listen to recording of playing on the real organ, or playing the same stuff in HW using well done wet sample set of the same organ.
Martin also explained there are no IMD (that dr Pykett was describing) using wet sample set, stereo recording on 2 speakers/headphones. But if more speakers are introduced, it seems to me that it must happen, so actually degrading faithful reproduction. Now, I have impression that many discussions about multichannel options for wet sample sets are about taste, not quality or need. Also, Martin was always talking about multichannel for dry sets. HW supports 512 channels, so there must be a reason
