I never said you did say that. But you did say this about live piano sound.
"When it comes to recorded music. I do not enjoy a solo piano recording that has the bass on the left and the treble on the right. So that is the way a pianist hears it, ***but as a listener I hear the opposite.*** It is extremely distracting."
Unless you are standing directly in front of the open lid of the piano and are very very close to it, that is not how a piano sounds in real life. Most of the sound comes from the sound board underneath and all the notes resonate off that board. Here is a nice little article that touches on the radiation patterns of an actual piano. They do not produce treble on the left and bass on the right. The sound comes from all over the instrument. They don't image based on the note played unless you are standing right in front of the open lid. and then only marginally so.
In a concert environment there will likely be no seats that would allow one to hear this kind of note dependent imaging.
As a listener you shouldn't be hearing bass on the left or right or treble on the left or right.
OTOH if you like hearing Bass on the right and treble on the left there is nothing wrong with that.
