What you descibe is indeed very "realistic" imaging. I prefer less realistic more palpable imaging and a nice thick palpable sense of hall space. Here is why. In a live concert we percieve imaging that is very palpable and pretty well defined because we can see the musicians. (generally) and those visual cues literally make our brains think we are hearing sound with more specificity of location than we are actually hearing. IMO the less accurate imaging of many audiophile favorites compensate for the lack of visual cues. And in effect seem more realistic to most listeners. Personally I don't care so much as to whether or not it's more accurate. I just like the sense of palpable presence that comes with that kind of imaging. Makes the music more visceral for me.
