Dear @erik_squires : "
There’s no concept in my mind of finding a listening location where I have "good imaging" in a live performance. It is all good. "
It's almost all good but not the same, exist differences in between locations/positions.
My choice in a music hall is as close I can if the direct sound of violins are at least at around same level than my ears and seated as close center field as I can. Not that out of the center I don't like what I'm listening because I like too.
The issue in a live event is that the overall music hall space is truly big with a wider really wider dispersion and direct sound certainly it's not at 2m-3m. from our seat, so things are different that in a home system but even in a live event the sound timing that the sounds arrives to our ears is just critical too.
O ther main and crucial difference is that in a live event exist almost " nothing " but air between the transients and fast harmonics developed between the sound sources/instruments and you.
