i'm interested in knowing the room size in order to get an understanding of both the ambiance captured by the microphones and to get a handle on the reflections...especially those captured by the stereo mikes. one of the interesting battles i had was losing the room signature (which we know is not entirely possible) to try and give a larger subjective illusion of space and depth.
this is a general observation, but i find it somewhat perplexing that people post gear lists and signal chains, yet THE most critical part of the signal chain is arguably the room and it's inherent acoustic properties dictated by it's shape, size, absorption/reflection characteristics and how it interferes with the recording, both directly and indirectly, yet it's rarely ever divulged. Mike's Spektakulatius recording is the only exception i've so far come across in the forum which also usefully included mic placement details - invaluable! i think that's a shame.
an interesting project overall, thanks for the multi, chaps.
