"Not always, but I agree with the sentiment."
I think it's pretty close to always. If you are sitting very close to a small ensemble then the actual sound only imaging get's pretty precise. But other than that most of the percieved precision in real world acoustic music is visual as well as just about any day to day perception of placement. In fact the visual will almost always not just support the audible sense of imaging it will override it. Just think about anytime you go to the movies. We always percieve the sound of the actor's voices to be eminating from the image of their mouths when in fact it is often comming from a speaker that is physically pretty far away from the actors image on the screen. This is the Mcgurk effect. When the visual cue is in conflict with the audible cue the brain automatically picks the visual cue as the reliable one.
"You'll note I said nothing at all about "precise imaging". Just observed the ability to render all the instruments clearly in a larger apparent space."
Yeah, I was the one who brought up the issue of the percieved precision of imaging. That was not meant to be an argument against anything you said.
