ok, maybe this time i'll reach the limits of my english again... but let me try:
imagine: you got a mic that picks up everything as it is. you got speakers that playback everything as it is. and everything between the mic and the speakers handle the "sound" as it is... ok, that's a dream... but just imagine.
now here we go: I do think that a singer sounds best singing unamplified without any technical helpers just in front of you at a distance of about 6 feet or something.
so now I want to get exactly that sound. how do I do this?
if my mic and my speakers handled the sound just as it is - I'd place the mic where I stand and put my ears right onto the speakers... or I'd put the mic right in front of the singer (no distance) and place the speakers 6 feet away from me. or the mic 3 feet away from the singer and the speakers 3 feet away from me.
that should give me the same sound as hearing the singer without mic & stuff 6 feet in front of me. shouldn't it?
but doing this in reality it doesn't work. why?
(am I nuts???) ;-)
