I relate "Reveling" systems to my experiences at symphony concerts.
Balcony center vs. way back at "standing room". Now this is only my experience at the Neil Blaisdell Concert Hall in Honolulu. And I have never sat Balcony Center. But 7 seats off. Yes. Large 3d soundstage. Pin point placement of instruments. I could focus and hear individual instruments. Page turns. The air blowing into a flute. As I recall in school, the only better?, is at the conductor's podium. As we all had to take a turn there a time or 12. ANALYTICAL. I personally don't want to be there for a concert performance. On the other hand....
I had a unfortunate but fortunate circumstance of Standing Room Only. Small image. No pin point resolution. But What a Wonderful Sound! OMG Acoustics and blending of notes I had not heard seated anywhere else. I told this to a friend who performs with the orchestra and fellow audiophile. He often would go up back there and listens. Concurs. "You wouldn't think so, huh?"
It feel it is what your want or goal for your reproduction system.
Compromises and Trade Offs.
Majority of the time I just want to enjoy the music. Home or Hall.
