I once rode a mountain bike out into the middle of a huge salt flat in
Nevada, where there was no wind, birds, cars...  the noise of my shirt
collar rubbing against the hairs on the back of my neck was deafening.

But I'm not sure you got the point of my post - I was suggesting that
in such an environment, listening to two speakers playing a stereo
recording made in a normal room might not sound bad, because the
recording would have captured both the direct and reflected sound in
the room where it was made.  Going further, that might even be  ideal,
at least if your goal was to hear something as close as possible to the
what a listener at the original performance heard.
