yes while the theory as to why is -shouldn't- work is solid I'd still
like to hear some real Decca Tree ambiance recordings
because most of the M-S nature recordings I've listened to are
lacking information in the center stage (mid)
either due to decoding preferences for an exaggerated   'w  i  d
e'    stereo effect leaving a 'hole in the middle'
or people just don't have enough practice with the technique
and I'm wondering if a Decca Tree might help solve this...
